Live Baccarat Bonanza — Where Every Hand Counts

The Bonanza side bet is a separate wager that activates multiplier payouts when a natural eight or nine is dealt. It runs alongside the main Player-Banker hand but is staked independently.

A natural is when the first two cards dealt to either the Player or Banker total eight or nine. No further cards are drawn on a natural — it is an automatic stand and typically the strongest hand.

When you back the Banker hand and it wins, the platform retains a small commission — typically five percent of the payout. This is why Banker odds are slightly less than even money.

A Tie bet pays out at higher odds than Player or Banker because it occurs less often. The exact pay rate is displayed in the game paytable; Pragmatic Play publishes this per table variant.

A shoe is the card-dispensing device on the dealer's table, loaded with multiple decks — usually six or eight. Cards are drawn from it sequentially until the shuffle marker is reached and the shoe is reset.

RTP stands for Return to Player — the theoretical percentage a game returns over a large number of rounds. For Baccarat Bonanza, each bet type has its own RTP figure shown in the game paytable.
