How we check the basics

Sources and scope

Baccarat rules and payouts can vary by casino and game type. These references support the standard Punto Banco explanations on this site; always check the rules posted at the table you are using.

Rules references

• OLG PlaySmart: How to Play Baccarat — card values, standard bets, payout examples and third-card rules.
• OLG PlaySmart: Baccarat Odds — rounded outcome frequencies and typical house-edge figures for common bet terms.
• BCLC Rules of Play: Baccarat — formal rules for several baccarat game types, including standard third-card procedures.

What this site covers

Baccart explains common baccarat terms and calculates outcomes from the inputs you provide. It does not rank casinos, accept wagers, predict results, or claim that any strategy can beat the game.

We use standard Punto Banco examples where we say “common.” Your table’s posted payout schedule and rules take precedence.
