Ez baccarat house edge
The house edge for the Banker bet in EZ Baccarat, a no-commission variant where a winning three-card 7 pushes instead of paying out. The casino's average advantage on that bet is 1.02% in an eight-deck game, compared with 1.06% for the standard Banker bet with commission.
Key points

- To compensate, a Banker win with a three-card total of 7 pushes, which gives the house its edge.2
- The 1.02% Banker edge is slightly lower than standard baccarat's 1.06% with commission.45
