BACCARAT
The Elegance of Baccarat
Baccarat, once exclusively reserved for high rollers and the elite of Monte Carlo, is now accessible to every player at Zombillion Casino. This elegant and fast-paced card game is known for its simplicity, extremely low house edge, and pure excitement. It is basically a classic guessing game: who gets the hand value closest to 9?
With Baccarat, you don't have to memorize complicated strategies or make complex decisions like in Blackjack. You simply place your bet on the 'Player', the 'Banker', or on a 'Tie' before the cards are dealt. Because of the marginal house edge (only 1.06% on a Banker bet), the game is hugely popular among serious casino players and crypto gamblers worldwide.
At Zombillion, you will find various variants that make the experience even more intense, provided by top providers like Evolution Gaming and Pragmatic Play Live. Experience the nerve-wracking suspense of Baccarat Squeeze, where the cards are revealed agonizingly slowly, or choose Speed Baccarat if you like lightning-fast action and want to play more hands per hour. We also offer No Commission Baccarat, where you save the usual 5% commission on Banker wins. Step inside and play like James Bond in the Zombillion Live Casino.

Tens & Face Cards
Value: 0 Points
Aces
Value: 1 Point

Retain their face value.
Best Baccarat Strategy & Tips
Bet on the Banker
Statistically, this is the safest and best bet in Baccarat. The house edge here is only 1.06%. Although a 5% commission is usually deducted on a win, this remains the most profitable option in the long run.
Avoid the 'Tie' Bet
A bet on a Tie does pay out very high (often 8:1 or 9:1), but the house edge is enormous (over 14%). It is a tempting option, but statistically a very poor choice for the player.
Bankroll Management
Always play with money you can afford to lose. Set limits before you start playing. Whether you use a Martingale system or flat-betting, managing your budget is the key to an enjoyable casino experience.
Frequently Asked Questions about Baccarat
