How Baccarat Side Bets Work on Our Tables

Baccarat side bets are optional wagers placed before the cards are dealt, running in parallel with — but independent of — the main Player or Banker outcome. They pay out based on specific card combinations, such as whether either hand holds a natural pair, whether the winning margin falls within a certain range for Dragon Bonus, or whether the total lands on

a Lucky Six. Evolution and Pragmatic Play both power live baccarat at pbf188com, and the side bets available depend on which studio's table you choose. Each studio displays its own side-bet chip positions on screen, so you can see the bet area clearly before you commit chips.

FAIRNESS AND PROVIDER SIGNALS

Why These Side Bets Are Worth Your Attention

Live-Streamed Dealing

Side bets resolve on the same live-dealt shoe used for the main game. No separate RNG — the same physical cards determine every outcome you wager on.

Published House Edge

Evolution and Pragmatic Play both document side-bet house edges in their game sheets. Where a table exposes this data, pbf188com displays the link inside the game info panel.

Audit Trail per Hand

Each completed hand generates a unique round ID. If a side-bet result ever looks off, your account history stores that ID so our support team can trace it against the studio log.

Studio Certification

Evolution holds independent testing certificates for all live table variants, including Dragon Bonus and Pair Bet mechanics. Pragmatic Play carries equivalent third-party audit coverage.

Side Bet Types, Odds and How to Place Them

Pair Bet Wager that the first two cards dealt to either the Player or Banker hand form a matching pair. Pays at fixed odds published on the table interface before you place chips.
Dragon Bonus This side bet pays based on how many points separate the winning hand from the losing hand. Larger margins return higher multipliers; a natural win adds a separate fixed payout.
Lucky Six Available on certain Pragmatic Play live baccarat tables, Lucky Six pays when the Banker wins with a six-point total. A two-card six pays at a higher multiplier than a three-card six.
Placing a Side Bet on Mobile Tap the chip denomination in the bottom tray, then tap the side-bet circle on screen — usually positioned above or beside the main bet zone. Confirm before the deal countdown ends.

Baccarat Side Bet Glossary

What is a Pair Bet in baccarat?

A wager that the first two cards of the Player or Banker hand are identical in rank. It pays at fixed published odds regardless of who wins the main hand.

What does Dragon Bonus mean?

Dragon Bonus pays based on the winning margin between hands. Winning by four or more points triggers the payout scale; a natural win carries its own fixed multiplier on this side bet.

What is a natural in baccarat?

A natural is when either the Player or Banker hand totals eight or nine from the first two cards dealt. No third card is drawn, and the hand is settled immediately at that point total.

What does Lucky Six pay?

Lucky Six pays when the Banker wins with exactly six points. A two-card six and a three-card six carry different multipliers — the table info panel shows the exact payout before chips are placed.

What is the house edge on baccarat side bets?

House edge varies by bet type and studio. Pair Bet typically carries a higher edge than the main Banker wager. RTP data is shown only where the game provider publishes it in the game sheet.

What is a shoe in live baccarat?

The shoe is the plastic card dispenser the dealer draws from at the table. A standard baccarat shoe holds six or eight decks; all side bets resolve on cards from the same shared shoe.

Common Questions About Baccarat Side Bets

Most live baccarat tables require at least one main-hand wager before side bets are accepted. Check the minimum chip zone on your chosen table — the layout shows which positions must be filled first.

Dragon Bonus appears on Evolution-powered tables, including several Speed Baccarat variants. Open the table info icon before sitting to confirm which side bets are active on that specific table version.

No. Side bets are settled independently. A losing Pair Bet does not change whether your Player or Banker wager wins, and a winning Dragon Bonus does not affect the main-hand payout you receive.

Where local law permits and your account is eligible, yes. The live table lobby loads in a mobile browser — tap any baccarat room, choose your chip size, and the side-bet circles appear on the table layout automatically.

Each hand settles in real time. Side-bet returns post to your account balance alongside main-hand results at the end of the round. Your transaction history lists each payout as a separate line item with the round ID.

Odds are fixed per table variant and set by the studio — Evolution or Pragmatic Play. They do not change mid-shoe. The payout table is visible inside the game interface before you place any chip on a side-bet position.
