What is BetOn Baccarat?

BetOn Baccarat by Playtech is a live dealer Baccarat variant using a standard eight-deck shoe and standard Baccarat rules. Its distinguishing feature is an extensive side bet menu beyond standard pair bets -- including color bets, suit bets, and Big/Small wagers. The interface displays bet types, odds, and potential returns in a dual-column layout before bets are confirmed.

Aces = 1. Cards 2-9 = face value. Tens and face cards = 0. Hand total = sum mod 10.
