There's no problem so big, that a natural nine can't solve.

This is a MIDI-Baccarat game @ Harrah's Atlantic City. $25 is the minimum bet, which is great for a table where you can "handle" the cards. Notice how crumpled the PLAYER (hand on the left side) cards are.

While my favorite Baccarat game is Big Baccarat, I can deal with a MIDI game, since you at least get a chance to face the cards. Only big difference from the Big Baccarat game is that the players don't deal (and the shoe doesn't travel around the table).

Players at this table were spreading from approximately $25 to $800, with one woman sitting next to me who was wild with her consistent $75 tie bets (and $25 to $50 Dragon Bonus bets).

Yes, this table has the additional sucker bet, the Dragon Bonus. For more details on the Dragon Bonus, please refer to the Wizard of Odds tables.

From the ShuffleMaster web site :

Dragon Bonus is the industry’s most popular baccarat side bet, and doesn't corrupt the drawing rules or commission structure of baccarat.

To play the Dragon Bonus side bet for baccarat, players must make the Dragon Bonus wager before the dealer reveals any cards. The dealer will then deal and reconcile the traditional baccarat hands according to house procedures.

Natural winners pay even-money on the Dragon Bonus wager and in the event of a natural that ties, the Dragon Bonus wager pushes. Non-natural winners that win by at least four points pay even-money, and the larger the margin of victory, the larger the payout.

    Great shot! What camera did you use (and how'd you get the shot off)

    Thanks! I used my iphone. Was just pretending to look at a text message. They were very cool at that table, nice floor supervisor and dealers. I also got some nice shots @ the dice tables.

    baccarat, I am very interested in baccarat, I was hoping you can tell me more about the limits. While in vegas I played midi and big bac, and enjoy them both a lot, but was unable to find a table with less than $100 min. Do you know more about the limits in AC, or Tahoe.

    Danny,
    Midi baccarat in Atlantic City is available at the $25 level at Harrah's. It's also available at $20 to $50 at the other resorts, varies on the day. Big Baccarat is available at the $25/$50 and $50 at the Taj, sometimes at Bally's --- and up until recently $25 Big Baccarat @ the Hilton (no more as of last week). You can also easily find a big game (Caesars, Borgata etc.) for $100 in Atlantic City.
