Key facts
Rule: Banker wins pay 1 to 1 with no commission, except a Banker win with a total of 6, which pays 1 to 2. House edge on Banker: slightly higher than in classic baccarat.
How to play
You bet on Player, Banker or Tie, and the cards follow the standard baccarat drawing rules.
What makes it different
Instead of a commission on every Banker win, the casino keeps half the payout when Banker wins with 6. The result is simpler payouts with a similar overall edge.
What is the baccarat squeeze?
The squeeze is a way of revealing the cards slowly: each card is bent and peeled back so the pips appear one side at a time. It comes from Asian casinos and adds suspense, and some live tables combine it with no-commission rules, showing the squeeze in close-up when the result is still open. It's pure theatre: the cards are already dealt, so the squeeze doesn't change the odds or the house edge.
Our tips
Banker is still a good bet, and Tie is still one to avoid. No betting system changes the house edge, so set a budget before you sit down.
