Baccarat formats: the same game, a different Banker payout

Baccarat table names in the lobby promise a lot: Super, Mega, Fortune, Knockout. The drawing rules stay the same at all of them. What changes is mostly the Banker payout and the side bets, and we show this with one format, the no-commission mode.

No-commission mode at Pragmatic Play: the card's data

Pragmatic Play's live baccarat help gives the No Commission mode its own chapter. The studio's official page on its speed baccarat tables says the mode is available on every table there. The rule comes from the help, the house edge from an independent maths calculation.

A note on the second-to-last row. The help's no-commission chapter gives the same Banker RTP as the classic version, which cannot be mathematically right. So we do not adopt that figure; the 1.46% is the independent calculation's result.

Why the six: the logic of the Banker-6 rule

At a classic table the house takes 5% from every Banker win. That is awkward: odd amounts, small change, sums to do. The no-commission mode packs it all into one rare case.

If Banker wins with 6, you get half the win. Every other Banker win pays even money. A Banker win on 6 is uncommon, but common enough to be worth it to the house.

Convenience has a price. The Banker bet's house edge rises from the classic 1.06% to 1.46%, so over time you pay a little more for the same bet. The Player bet (1:1) is unchanged.

The drawing chart and card values are on the classic baccarat rule card; we do not repeat them here.

Commission or half a win: 100 Banker wins two ways

The difference looks small, but it shows over a longer run.

Illustrative calculation (not Dukat.bet data): say you see 100 winning Banker hands on 1,000 HUF Banker bets. About one in eight of them, rounded to 12, comes with 6.

Mode Normal win Win on 6 Total winnings
With 5% commission 88 × 950 HUF 12 × 950 HUF 95,000 HUF
No commission 88 × 1,000 HUF 12 × 500 HUF 94,000 HUF

No commission pays more on most wins, yet less in total. That is the gap between 1.46% and 1.06%, in money.

Put another way: a Banker win on 6 is the one moment you come off worse, but then much worse — you get 450 HUF less than at a commission table.

One round at a no-commission table, with a Super 6 side bet

A round where the rare case nearly happens.

  1. Bets. In the betting window you put 2,000 HUF on Banker and 500 HUF on Super 6. The side bet could not exceed 2,000 HUF, and the table would refuse it without a main bet.
  2. Closing and deal. The croupier deals four cards: Player has 5 and a king (5 points), Banker has 2 and 3 (5 points).
  3. Third card. Player draws on 5: a 9, making 14, so 4 points. With Banker on 5, a third card of 9 means Banker stands.
  4. Settlement. Banker 5, Player 4 — Banker wins, but not with 6, so the main bet pays 1:1, +2,000 HUF. Super 6 loses, −500 HUF.
  5. The other outcome. Had Banker won with 6 and no third card, the main bet would bring only +1,000 HUF, while Super 6 would pay 15:1, that is +7,500 HUF.

So Super 6 ‘insures’ exactly the case that hurts the main bet. Its 86.18% RTP shows how dearly you pay for that cover: over time about 138 HUF of every 1,000 HUF goes to the house.

Super 8, Squeeze, Knockout: format names in the Dukat.bet lobby

On 11 October 2026 we found the following baccarat formats in the lobby by name. We did not verify most of their rules from two sources, so we give only the name and studio.

Format (lobby name) Studio What we state
Super 8 Baccarat Pragmatic Play name only; one source on payouts
Squeeze Baccarat Pragmatic Play name only
Fortune 6 Baccarat Pragmatic Play name only
Mega Baccarat Pragmatic Play name only
Hi-Lo Baccarat Pragmatic Play name only
Amazing Baccarat Pragmatic Play name only
Turbo Baccarat Pragmatic Play name only
Big Small Baccarat Pragmatic Play name only
Baccarat Super Six Ezugi name only
EZ Baccarat Ezugi name only
Knockout Baccarat Ezugi name only

Names often hint at the twist (a side bet, a multiplier, a slower card reveal). Do not infer the payout from the name. The 15:1 for Super 6 described here is Pragmatic Play's rule and does not carry over automatically to Ezugi's similarly named table.

Pragmatic Play brings the most baccarat formats, but SA Gaming and Winfinity stream baccarat too. Studio profiles are summed up on the live studios page.

Shorter betting time: when the format changes the pace

Per the official page, Pragmatic Play's speed baccarat tables run with a shorter betting time and five score boards (roads). The rule does not change here, only the rhythm.

That sounds harmless, yet the house edge works on turnover. The same 1.06% spread over more rounds takes more money in an hour, even if each round's stake does not grow. The same goes for one-card Dragon Tiger tables, where a round is shorter still.

If at a fast table you notice you have stopped watching the cards and are just pressing the next bet, take it as a signal. The pace and tilt page goes into this in detail.

What you cannot read from a baccarat format's name

  • The Banker payout. Commission or no commission? Always check the betting layout, not the name.
  • Side bet RTP. The multiplier shows, the price does not. Super 6's 86.18% is the exception, because the help states it.
  • The limit. We do not publish it; it shows only on the open table.
  • The format's exact rules. We did not verify Super 8, Fortune 6, Knockout and the rest from two sources.

Dukat.bet's live offer, the Live Casino Bonus – 500% up to 3,000 EUR + 15% Cashback, has separate terms. General point 2.14 excludes live dealer play from wagering, so read the offer's own terms whatever the format. Under-18s cannot play.

Frequently asked questions

What does No Commission baccarat mean?
The Banker bet pays 1:1 with no commission, unless Banker wins with 6: then half the win, 0.5:1, is paid. That is how Pragmatic Play's help puts it.
Is the no-commission Banker bet more expensive?
Yes, slightly. By mathematical calculation its house edge is 1.46%, against 1.06% for the classic Banker bet with 5% commission.
What does Super 6 pay?
At Pragmatic Play's no-commission table, 15:1 if Banker wins with 6. It needs a main bet and cannot be larger than it. The help gives its RTP as 86.18%.
Do formats change the third-card rule?
Not in No Commission mode; the drawing chart is the same. We did not verify the other formats' rules from two sources.
What are the rules of Super 8 or Knockout Baccarat?
We saw them by name in the lobby but found no two matching sources on their payouts, so we do not state them. Open the table and read its help.
Which format is the cheapest?
What we know for sure: the classic commission Banker bet's 1.06% is lower than the no-commission 1.46%. Side bets are typically far more expensive than either.
