Three bets, two hands, and some of the best odds in the casino world. betgames brings live Baccarat with real dealers, real cards, and real PKR payouts — available any time, from any device, across Pakistan.
Baccarat has just three main bets. Here is what each one means and what it pays.
Bet that the Player hand will have a higher total than the Banker. If the Player wins, you receive exactly your stake back as profit — the simplest payout in the game. No commission is deducted on a Player win at betgames.
Bet on the Banker hand. The Banker bet wins slightly more often than the Player bet due to the drawing rules. To compensate, betgames deducts a 5% commission on Banker wins — meaning a Rs 1,000 winning bet returns Rs 950 profit.
Bet that both hands will finish with the same total. The 8:1 payout sounds generous, and the occasional big win is certainly satisfying — but at a house edge near 14.4%, this is the high-variance option. Many experienced Baccarat players avoid the Tie bet in regular sessions.
A side bet predicting that the Player's first two cards will form a pair — two cards of the same rank regardless of suit. Available on all betgames live Baccarat tables alongside the main bets. Stakes are independent of your main bet amount.
The same concept applied to the Banker's first two cards. If the Banker receives two cards of matching rank, this side bet wins at 11:1. The house edge and payout are identical to the Player Pair. Both pair bets can be placed simultaneously if you prefer.
Understanding the point system is the first step to playing with confidence.
| Card | Point Value | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Ace | 1 | A♠ = 1 point |
| 2 through 9 | Face value | 7♥ = 7 points |
| 10, Jack, Queen, King | 0 (zero) | K♦ = 0 points |
| Two-card hand total > 9 | Right digit only | 7 + 8 = 15 → 5 pts |
| Best possible hand | 9 | "Natural Nine" |
| Second best | 8 | "Natural Eight" |
Quick example: If the Player receives a Queen (0) and a 7, the hand total is 7. If they then receive a 5, the total becomes 12 — which drops the tens digit, making it 2. The highest value a hand can reach is 9 and it cannot go higher.
The drawing rules are automatic at betgames — the dealer applies them. But understanding them helps you follow the action.
If either the Player or Banker hand totals 8 or 9 after the initial two cards, it is a "Natural." No more cards are drawn for either hand. The highest natural wins; a tie if both are equal.
Every live Baccarat table at betgames displays a running roadmap of past results. Here is what it looks like and how to read it.
Below is a sample roadmap grid. P = Player win · B = Banker win · T = Tie
The roadmap records the sequence of outcomes, reading top-to-bottom then left-to-right. It does not predict future results — each hand is independent — but many players find it useful for tracking session patterns.

If you ask a seasoned casino player which game gives you the best odds for your money, Baccarat comes up almost every time. The Banker bet carries a house edge of just over 1%, making it one of the most player-friendly wagers in any casino. Most other games — slots, roulette, even Blackjack when played without perfect strategy — carry higher house edges than Baccarat's two main bets. Pakistani players who have discovered this are increasingly making Baccarat their primary game on betgames, and the numbers back it up: Baccarat consistently ranks as one of the most-played live table games on the platform.
Part of the appeal is the simplicity. Unlike Blackjack, where your decisions directly affect the outcome and mistakes in strategy cost you real money, Baccarat requires no ongoing strategic decisions once you have placed your bet. The drawing rules are automatic and fixed — the dealer applies them the same way every single hand. Your role is to predict which hand wins. That combination of near-even-money payouts and no decision-making pressure makes Baccarat comfortable to play, even at significant stakes, without the anxiety that comes from wondering whether you should have hit or stood.
If you have not watched a live Baccarat game before, you will quickly notice something that does not exist in other card games: the squeeze. When the stakes are high, the dealer slowly and ritualistically peels back the cards — often bending them slightly — to reveal the value gradually. A face card being revealed from the side before the rank becomes visible, the collective tension as the final card is turned — this is Baccarat's theatrical element, and it is genuinely compelling to watch even when you know the mathematics behind the game are completely indifferent to how slowly the card is revealed.
The standard Live Baccarat tables at betgames include the traditional squeeze on significant hands. The Speed Baccarat variant skips this for players who prefer a faster rhythm. Both options are available in the same lobby, so you can choose the pace that suits your mood on any given session.
The single most useful thing to understand about Baccarat strategy is that the Banker bet should almost always be your primary choice. With a house edge of 1.06% after commission, it outperforms the Player bet (1.24%) and dramatically outperforms the Tie bet (approximately 14.4%). Many players find it counterintuitive to consistently bet on the Banker because of the 5% commission deducted from wins, but that commission is already factored into the house edge figure — the Banker bet is still the better mathematical choice even with the commission applied.
The Tie bet should be understood as entertainment rather than a strategy. At roughly 85.6% RTP, it is substantially worse than the main bets. A small Tie side bet added occasionally for excitement is one thing — relying on it as your primary bet is not recommended if you want to extend your session budget and experience more hands.
As for betting systems — Martingale, Fibonacci, Paroli — these can help structure a session psychologically, but none of them change the underlying odds. The Martingale system, which doubles your bet after each loss, requires a very large bankroll buffer to survive extended losing streaks and can lead to large losses if those streaks occur. Flat betting — wagering the same amount each hand — is mathematically equivalent to any betting system over a statistically significant sample and carries none of the catastrophic-loss risk of progressive systems.
The betgames Baccarat tables are fully optimised for mobile play. The table layout scales to fit smartphones cleanly, with the three main betting zones clearly visible without zooming, and the card display at the top of the screen easy to read throughout the deal. On 4G connections, the live video feed streams without visible buffering, and the betting timer — which counts down between deals — is large enough to see at a glance without squinting.

Practical approaches to managing your sessions at betgames Baccarat tables.
Bet the same amount on Banker every hand. Over time this is the mathematically optimal approach — the lowest house edge, no system risk, and completely sustainable as a long-term playing method on betgames.
Progress bets in the sequence 1 unit, 3 units, 2 units, 6 units after each consecutive win. Reset to 1 after any loss or after completing the sequence. Caps both profit and loss in a disciplined structure.
Double your bet after each win up to three consecutive wins, then reset. You are only risking your winnings, not your base stake, on the doubled bets. Popular with betgames players who prefer a positive progression.
Set a maximum session loss figure before you play. When you hit it, stop — even mid-streak. The single most effective bankroll management tool available, and it costs nothing to implement.
Reserve Tie bets and Pair side bets for occasional use rather than every hand. Their higher house edges add up quickly over many rounds. Use them as entertainment — not as your primary staking approach.
Doubling after every loss requires a very deep bankroll and hits betgames table limits faster than most players expect. Seven consecutive losses at minimum stake quickly pushes your bet to over 100x the starting amount.
