What Baccarat Side Bets Actually Are
Baccarat Side Bets are optional wagers placed before the deal that pay independently of whether you picked Banker or Player correctly. Studios like Evolution and Pragmatic Play Live have built these wagers into their standard baccarat tables, so you see them on the same felt as the main bets. The most common types — Player Pair, Banker Pair, Perfect Pair, Either Pair,
Dragon Bonus and Super Six — each look at the first two cards dealt to each side and pay according to a fixed table. Because the house edge on side bets differs from the main game, understanding each bet's structure helps you decide when it fits your session.
