Play Mini Baccarat: The Small Stake, High Win Odds Game

Play mini baccarat and experience the excitement of the game without having to wager large sum of money. With lower bet requirements than regular American baccarat, any player with small bankroll can now enjoy betting on Player, Banker, or Tie. And even with a small bankroll, a player can now enjoy more rounds with this baccarat game variation.

Mini baccarat is closely patterned after American baccarat rules. There are a few differences. For one, a mini baccarat table is smaller than an American baccarat table. Mini baccarat has only 7 seats, while American baccarat has about 12-14 seats.

Then, as already mentioned, mini baccarat has smaller maximum and minimum bet limits.

To play mini baccarat, a player has to take a seat at the mini baccarat table. Each player or seat has its betting area consisting of three circles or squares labeled Player, Banker, and Tie.

On top of the mini baccarat table, the player will also find the dealer's chip tray, a commission box, and a shoe containing, normally, 6-8 decks.

Players must then wager by placing chip(s) on the bet square or circle of their choice.

To win when you play mini baccarat, your bet and the winning hand must match.

Remember that Banker and Player refer to the two hands used in the game. They also refer to the types of bets that you have to choose from when they play mini baccarat.

After the players have wagered, the croupier deals the cards, face up. Both Banker and Player hands consist of two cards.

In mini baccarat, all cards have face value except for KJQ and 10, which have 0 point value, and Ace, which has 1 point value.

Each hand's total value is then determined. If the value reaches double digits, the digit on the left is disregarded. Only the digit on the right is declared as the hand's value.

Now, if no hand scores a total of 9 or 8, the croupier will draw a card to either or both hands depending on 3 card rules.

When you play mini baccarat and win on Banker, a 5% commission will be deducted from your winnings.

To play mini baccarat, you don't need to have a strategy or skill. As it is in roulette, you need only luck here to win. Unlike roulette, however, house edge in mini baccarat is lower. Banker has a house edge of 1.01%, Player edge has 1.24%, and the rarely taken Tie bet has a house edge of over 14%.

So if you have a small bankroll and looking for a good game with high win odds, play mini baccarat. With a player edge almost as high as 99%, you always have good chances of winning and growing your small bankroll when you play mini baccarat.
