How to play

A round in 20 seconds. Really.

Baccarat has a reputation for velvet-rope mystery. The truth: you make exactly one decision — which side to back — and the tableau runs itself.

1

Chip a side

PLAYER, BANKER or ÉGALITÉ — plus pairs and the bonus row if you feel cinematic. Two cards land for each hand; you never touch them.

2

Closest to 9 wins

Tens and face cards count as zero, aces as one, and only the last digit matters — 7 + 8 = 5. An 8 or 9 on the deal is a natural and ends it on the spot.

3

The tableau decides

If nobody has a natural, a fixed drawing chart runs: Player takes a third card on 0–5 and stands on 6–7, the shoe handles Banker. No decisions, no bluffing — pure theatre.

The only math you ever do

Cards keep their face value, tens and faces are zero, and everything wraps at ten — a 7 and an 8 make 5, not 15. That’s the whole scoring system. The third-card chart (Player draws on 0–5, stands on 6–7; Banker follows the printed tableau) is the shoe’s job, never yours.

Honest odds

Every number, on the felt.

Classic table, net of nothing — there is no commission and no fee. ⚡Beast Strike nets out its own +20% ante before printing (Player 98.0% · Banker 97.9% · Égalité 94.6%; the bonus row never changes). Verified by a five-million-round simulation you can rerun yourself.

Why this table

The high-limit room, minus the rope.

The rituals real baccarat players actually love — the squeeze, the roads, the lightning — rebuilt for a free social table.

✋ the squeeze

Drag to peel, like the high-limit room

Back a hand and its cards land face-down. Drag any direction to peel the corner — release past 25% to commit, or snap shut and keep the suspense. On touch or mouse.

⚡ beast strike

Lightning multipliers, honestly funded

Opt in and random ×2–×8 multipliers strike your bet spots before the deal — funded by a printed +20% ante, net RTP on the door. Off by default: the classic table charges nothing.

📈 les routes

Bead and Big Road, live on the LCD

The Vegas scoreboard under the stage — streaks, dragon tails, pair dots and tie tallies, updating hand by hand with the running P · B · T count.

🔁 share the hand

Every round is a replay link

Heart the round to save it, share it to the feed or X, and anyone can watch the exact tableau replay — cards, squeeze and all. Nothing posts until you choose.

Questions

Le Banque — honest answers

No. The tableau is fixed and the shoe runs it for you — Player draws on 0–5 and stands on 6–7, Banker follows the same printed chart. You pick a side, the salon does the rest.

Why does the Tie pay 9:1?

Most casinos pay 8:1. We pay 9:1 — a friendlier return on the flashiest bet on the felt (Égalité).

What is Beast Strike?

An optional mode: a +20% ante funds random ×2–×8 profit multipliers on your bet spots before the deal. Classic table has no ante and no fees.

Can I verify the hands?
