What Makes Baccarat Side Bets Different
Standard baccarat gives you three outcomes to bet on. Side bets open a second layer — wagers that pay based on card combinations rather than who wins the hand. A Perfect Pair, for example, pays when the first two cards dealt to either the Player or Banker form a matching pair by rank and suit. Dragon Bonus pays when the winning hand
wins by a natural or by a margin of four or more points. Providers like Evolution and Pragmatic Play Live carry these side markets on their live baccarat tables, and the bet limits sit separately from the main wager so you can size them differently.
