Five Aspects of Baccarat You Should Understand
From how to play to table types — everything in one place.
Basic Gameplay
Baccarat uses a standard deck of cards. Each round involves two hands — "Player" and "Banker". You bet on which hand will have a total value closer to 9, or whether both will tie. Face cards and 10s are worth zero; Aces are worth 1; all other cards are taken at face value. If a total exceeds 9, only the last digit counts — for example, 7+6=13 becomes 3.
Table Types at ink789
The ink789 platform offers multiple Baccarat table formats — including standard Punto Banco, high-limit Baccarat for VIP players, and Squeeze Baccarat where players can dramatically "reveal" cards. Each table type has different betting limits, allowing players of all levels to join a game that fits.
Probabilities & Odds
Betting on Banker carries a house edge of around 1.06%, making it one of the best bets in any casino game. The Player bet has a house edge of around 1.24%. The Tie bet, while it pays the most (typically 8:1), carries a much higher house edge and is not recommended for a long-term strategy.
VIP Experience
More experienced players can access the VIP Baccarat tables at ink789, which come with higher betting limits and a more exclusive atmosphere. These tables typically have fewer players at a time, making for a calmer, more controlled game. Access to VIP tables depends on your membership level and account activity.
Mobile Device Experience
Baccarat at ink789 is designed to work flawlessly on mobile devices. Card displays and the betting interface are optimized for touch screens — large buttons, clear text, and video streams automatically adjust to your internet speed. You can access all table types from Android or iOS phones without installing extra software. For the best experience, download the official ink789 app via our download page.
Two Key Concepts in Baccarat
Grasp these mechanics and you're already halfway to your first table.
- Third Card Rule
-
In Baccarat, either the Player or Banker hand may receive a third card based on fixed rules that require no decision from the player. If the Player's hand totals 0–5, a third card is drawn automatically. The Banker's hand then follows a more complex set of rules based on the value of the Player's third card. Players don't need to memorise any of this — the dealer handles it all.
Example: If the Player has an Ace and 3 (total 4), a third card is automatically drawn. You just wait for the final result.
- Natural Win
-
If either hand (Player or Banker) totals 8 or 9 on the first two cards, it’s called a "Natural." No third card is drawn in this case, and the hand with the higher total wins immediately. If both hands have a Natural with the same value, the result is a Tie. A Natural 9 beats a Natural 8.
Example: Player draws a 5 and a 4 (total 9) — Natural! The Banker cannot win unless they also draw 9. The round ends immediately.

Why Malaysian Players Choose ink789 Tables
Baccarat has long been a favorite among Asian casino players, including in Malaysia. The popularity is more than tradition — Baccarat has simple rules, fast rounds, and one of the lowest house edges among all casino games. This means every MYR you bet is more valuable compared to many other games.
At ink789, the entire Baccarat experience — from registration and deposit to choosing a table and making a withdrawal — is built for Malaysian users. The interface, local payment methods, and customer support that understands the local context make this platform a more comfortable choice than international platforms that don't cater to the Malaysian market. You can also explore the other table games available on the platform for a wider range of options.

Frequently Asked Questions About Baccarat
Straight answers to the most common points of confusion.
In Baccarat, players don’t decide how the cards are dealt — you only choose where to bet (Player, Banker, or Tie) before the round starts. All card actions are handled automatically by fixed rules. This differs from Blackjack, where players decide each move like "hit" or "stand" during the round. Baccarat is easier for beginners since no strategic decisions are needed while playing.
Mathematically, the Banker bet carries a slightly lower house edge than the Player bet — around 1.06% versus 1.24%. This means that over the long run, betting on Banker gives a marginally better statistical return. To offset this, casinos typically charge a small commission on Banker wins. The Tie bet has a significantly higher house edge and is generally not recommended as a primary strategy.
Yes, the ink789 platform is fully accessible through your phone's browser — Chrome, Safari, or any modern browser. All Baccarat features including live dealer tables, betting options, round history, and chat are available in the browser version. That said, if you want a smoother experience with faster load times and push notifications, downloading the official ink789 Android app is the better option.
Minimum betting limits vary by table type. Standard Punto Banco tables usually start at RM 10 per round, making them ideal for players trying Baccarat with low risk. Live Baccarat tables have slightly higher limits, while VIP tables may require much higher minimums. Check the table info window before joining to see the current limits.
Log in to your ink789 account and go to the Deposit section. Choose your payment method — FPX for instant deposits via online banking, Touch 'n Go for e-wallet deposits, or other local options. Enter the amount in Malaysian Ringgit (RM), follow the payment steps, and your balance will be credited within seconds for FPX. Make sure your bank account name matches the name registered at ink789 to avoid any delays.
