RTP per bet
Banker is the cheapest bet; the tie costs the most. The tie pays more because it lands far less often, and the gap shows in its edge.
| Bet | Payout | RTP | House edge | Cost per $100 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Banker | 0.95:1 | 98.94% | 1.06% | $1.06 |
| Player | 1:1 | 98.76% | 1.24% | $1.24 |
| Tie | 8:1 | 85.64% | 14.36% | $14.36 |
Commission: standard 5% on banker, going by the listed 98.94% banker RTP; the Playtech rule sheet is still to be checked. Chances and edges for 8 decks: Wizard of Odds, baccarat (wizardofodds.com/games/baccarat/basics/).

Cost per hour
Expected cost = stake per round × rounds per hour × house edge. The paces are examples, not timed counts.
RTP: the figure we list for the game. Comparison RTPs: standard rules (Wizard of Odds, roulette basics (wizardofodds.com/games/roulette/basics/); Wizard of Odds, baccarat (wizardofodds.com/games/baccarat/basics/)). Rounds per hour are example paces; studios do not publish them.
Variance
Wins close to half the rounds; the balance moves slowly.
Lands about one round in ten and pays 8:1; long runs without one are normal.
