Baccarat at Craze Casino: Rules, Strategy, and Where to Play
Baccarat has long been the go-to game for players who want straightforward rules, low house edge, and a genuine shot at consistent returns. Craze Casino offers a comprehensive baccarat suite covering both RNG table games and a full live dealer lobby powered by top-tier software providers.
What Is Baccarat?
Baccarat is a card comparison game played between two hands: the Player and the Banker. The objective is to bet on which hand will have a total closest to nine. A third bet, the Tie, is also available. Cards are worth their face value, with tens and face cards counting as zero and aces counting as one.
Baccarat Hand Values
| Card | Value |
|---|---|
| 2 – 9 | Face value |
| 10, J, Q, K | 0 |
| Ace | 1 |
If a hand total exceeds nine, only the second digit is counted. For example, a hand of 7 and 8 equals 15, which counts as 5.
Baccarat Bet Types
- Player Bet: Pays 1:1. House edge approximately 1.24%
- Banker Bet: Pays 1:1 minus a 5% commission. House edge approximately 1.06%
- Tie Bet: Pays 8:1 or 9:1 depending on the table. House edge approximately 14.4%
- Player Pair / Banker Pair: Side bets paying 11:1 on a matching pair in the first two cards

- No Commission Baccarat: Banker wins pay 1:1 with no commission deducted
Baccarat Strategy Tips
Baccarat is largely a game of chance, but there are a few approaches that experienced players use to manage their bankroll and extend their sessions:
- Stick to the Banker bet – It carries the lowest house edge of all standard bets
- Avoid the Tie bet – The payout looks attractive, but the house edge is far too high for regular play
- Use a flat betting strategy – Betting the same amount per hand helps preserve your bankroll over longer sessions
- Set a session budget – Decide your stop-loss and win target before you start and stick to both
- Track streaks carefully – Many baccarat tables display scoreboards showing historical results; use them to inform, not to predict
