What are the bet types and special features of MGM Grand Baccarat?

MGM Grand Baccarat, as mentioned above, is a traditional baccarat game. It doesn’t have any special features to note, but it does have a few different bet options. We’ll take a look at all three of them in this section: banker, player and tie.

Banker bets

Banker bets, as the name implies, see players bet on the banker to win. The banker has a better chance of winning than other players, so this bet is seen as a low-risk option. If you win a banker bet, you’ll receive a 1 to 1 payout. Some casinos charge as much as a 5% commission on banker wins, however, so your actual payout might be a bit less than your original bet.

Player bets

Player bets are similar to banker bets, except that you bet on the player (you) to win. The odds of a player win are slightly less than the odds of the banker winning, and the payout is the same. If you win the round, you receive a 1 to 1 payout (with no commission this time).

Tie bets

Unlike the two bets described above, where the aim of the game is to earn nine or below, you aren’t betting on which hand will be closest to nine in value with a tie bet – you’re betting that you and the banker have the same hand. The value of this hand can be anything at all, as long as you both have the exact same one. If you place a tie bet and your hand and the banker’s are actually tied, you win an 8 to 1 payout.

MGM Grand Baccarat FAQs

How to win in the MGM Grand Baccarat base game

Are you wondering how to win at MGM Grand Baccarat? While we can’t guarantee winning rounds, the basics of baccarat are fairly straightforward. Every round of baccarat has three potential outcomes: a tie, a banker win or a player win. You can bet on either of the three potential outcomes before every round begins.

As for the actual gameplay, baccarat is similar to blackjack, except that the goal is a hand equal to or less than nine. Players (or bankers) closest to nine without going over win the game, except in ties. If the player’s hand and the banker’s hands tie, the value of the hand doesn’t matter.

How to play MGM Grand Baccarat

Playing MGM Grand Baccarat is very simple. Here are a few steps to follow:

Register or log into your account. If you don’t already have an account, you’ll need to make one before you can start to play.
Fund your account. If you’ve already deposited funds into your account, you can skip this step. If you haven’t, then now is the time to do so. Visit the operator’s cashier page, decide how much money to deposit, pick a payment method, and confirm the transaction.
Navigate to the ‘Live Casino’ page. Once your funds have been added to your account balance, head to the operator’s homepage and look for the ‘Live Casino’ section. You can usually find the button close to the ‘Slots’ section, so be on the lookout for either.
