Live Baccarat Online: Standard or Super 6, and What the Side Bets Cost

Live baccarat deals a real shoe on camera, and the main bets work exactly as they do in software: Banker, Player or Tie. Most live lobbies also run Super 6, a no-commission version with a twist, and add side bets such as the Dragon Bonus. We read the live pages of the casinos we review and worked out what each bet costs.

By Otto Bergstrom, editor. Sources: live casino pages, live rules and bonus terms on each casino’s own site.

The Short Answer

Slots.lv is our pick for live baccarat. Its live lobby showed 15 baccarat games, it runs both standard baccarat and Super 6, it publishes the Super 6 payouts, and it paid our $1,100 Solana withdrawal in 9 minutes 30 seconds.

On any table, the Banker bet in standard baccarat is the cheapest bet in the game, at about 1.06% with a 5% commission. Super 6’s no-commission Banker costs a little more, about 1.46%, and its 12-to-1 Super 6 side bet costs about 30%.

From each casino’s own live pages. Counts are game tiles in the lobby. Bovada’s baccarat page doesn’t say whether its $1 to $500 and $1 to $10,000 figures apply to live tables. BetOnline and Wild Casino offer live baccarat but publish no live baccarat rules or limits.

Standard Baccarat or Super 6?

Super 6 drops the 5% commission on Banker wins. In return, a Banker win with a total of 6 pays only half. That trade makes the Banker bet slightly more expensive than in standard baccarat:

BetHouse edge
Banker, standard (5% commission)1.06%
Player1.24%
Banker, Super 6 (pays half on a winning 6)1.46%
Tie at 8 to 114.4%
Super 6 side bet at 12 to 130.0%

Our own calculation from the standard drawing rules with eight decks; six decks change these by a few hundredths of a percent. The Banker wins with a 6 about 5.4% of the time.

So standard baccarat with a 5% commission is the cheaper game for Banker bettors, and the Super 6 side bet at 12 to 1 is one of the most expensive bets in the casino. The Dragon Bonus pays by the margin of victory; no casino we checked publishes its full paytable, so read it at the table.

Live Baccarat and Bonuses

Live baccarat is about the worst game for a bonus. Slots.lv, Cafe Casino, Bovada and Ignition count live dealer games 0% and bar bonus funds from them; BetOnline’s and SportsBetting.ag’s casino rules bar baccarat from bonus play; Wild Casino excludes all baccarat from its Cash Boost and Reloads; and BetUS’s welcome terms bar live dealer games. Play live baccarat with cash.

Live Baccarat Questions

Which casino is best for live baccarat?

Slots.lv is our pick: 15 live baccarat games, both standard and Super 6, published Super 6 payouts, and it paid our $1,100 Solana withdrawal in 9 minutes 30 seconds.

What is Super 6 baccarat?

A no-commission version: Banker wins are paid even money, except a Banker win with a total of 6, which pays half. Slots.lv and Cafe Casino say the separate Super 6 side bet pays 12 to 1.

Is Super 6 better than standard baccarat?

Not for Banker bets. By our calculation the Super 6 Banker bet costs about 1.46%, against 1.06% in standard baccarat with a 5% commission.

What is the Dragon Bonus?

A side bet that pays according to how much your hand wins by. Slots.lv says it can pay up to 30 times the bet; the full paytable is shown at the table.

What are the limits for live baccarat?

Few casinos publish them. BetUS gives $5 to $2,500 across its live tables; the others show limits only at the table.

Can I play live baccarat with a bonus?

Not usefully. Where the casinos say anything, live dealer games count 0% or can’t be played with bonus funds, and several casinos’ rules bar baccarat from bonus play.

Play Within a Limit

Baccarat hands are quick, and side bets look small next to the main bet. Decide your budget before the first hand, and skip the side bets if you are chasing a loss.
