From classic Punto Banco to Speed Baccarat and Lightning Baccarat — pdc888 brings the full live dealer baccarat experience to players across Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet, and every corner of Bangladesh.
Baccarat has a long and somewhat surprising history in Bangladesh's online casino scene. While cricket betting naturally dominates the sports wagering market — especially during BPL and T20 World Cup seasons — baccarat has quietly emerged as the single most-played table game among Bangladeshi online casino users. Part of its appeal is the simplicity: there are only three possible outcomes on each round (Player wins, Banker wins, or Tie), and the house edge on the Banker bet is among the lowest of any casino game available anywhere, sitting at just 1.06%.
At pdc888, we have invested heavily in bringing a genuinely world-class baccarat experience to players across the country. Whether you are playing on a weekend evening in Dhaka after the office, catching a late-night session from Chittagong, or squeezing in a few rounds between matches in Sylhet, the pdc888 baccarat lobby is optimised for your connection and your schedule. Our live dealer tables run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with professional dealers streaming in high definition from purpose-built studios.
The game's appeal also connects to a broader cultural familiarity with card games across South Asia. Baccarat shares the intuitive card-comparison mechanic that resonates naturally with players who grew up playing local card games. At pdc888, we have made it even more accessible by supporting deposits as low as ৳100 via bKash or Nagad — meaning you can sit at a real live baccarat table without needing a large bankroll to start.
The word "baccarat" comes from the Italian "baccara", meaning zero — referring to the value of face cards and tens. The Banker bet, despite carrying a 5% commission on wins, remains statistically the best bet on the table in the long run.
pdc888 offers a wide selection of baccarat variants from the world's top live casino studios. Here is what is available in the lobby right now.
The original and most widely played version of baccarat. Fixed drawing rules, three betting options (Player, Banker, Tie), and a straightforward pace that suits both beginners and experienced players. Available at pdc888 with ৳100 minimum stakes.
Designed for players who want more action per hour. Speed Baccarat from Evolution Gaming completes each round in approximately 27 seconds, roughly half the time of standard baccarat. Popular with pdc888 players in Dhaka who prefer a faster pace during shorter sessions.
Evolution Gaming's hit live game adds random Lightning Cards each round with multipliers ranging from 2x to 512x. A small Lightning Fee applies to each bet, but the potential for dramatically boosted payouts makes this the most exciting baccarat variant at pdc888.
The dealer slowly peels back cards — mimicking the classic VIP baccarat ritual found in Macau and Monte Carlo high-roller rooms. Baccarat Squeeze at pdc888 brings that theatre to your phone screen, wherever you are in Bangladesh.
In standard baccarat, a 5% commission is charged on winning Banker bets. No Commission Baccarat removes this fee entirely, with a slightly adjusted payout structure. Ideal for pdc888 players who prefer clean, straightforward bet settlements.
This variant lets the player with the highest wager control the card squeeze themselves — turning a passive spectator experience into an interactive one. A firm favourite among high-engagement players at pdc888's live casino tables.
New to baccarat? Here is a clear, step-by-step breakdown of exactly how the game works — no prior experience needed.
Choose to bet on Player, Banker, or Tie before the round begins. You may also place optional side bets if available on the variant you are playing.
Two cards are dealt face-up to both the Player hand and the Banker hand. Card values: Ace = 1, cards 2–9 = face value, tens and face cards = 0.
Add the two card values together. Only the last digit counts — so a hand of 7 and 8 totals 15, which counts as 5. The closest hand to 9 wins.
Fixed drawing rules determine whether a third card is dealt to either hand. You do not make this decision — it is automatic. The winning hand is settled and payouts are issued.
Player win pays 1:1. Banker win pays 1:1 minus 5% commission (or 1:1 in No Commission variants). Tie pays 8:1 (some tables offer 9:1). Side bets vary by game type.
If either the Player or Banker hand totals 8 or 9 on the initial two cards, it is called a "Natural". No third card is drawn and the highest Natural wins. A Natural 9 beats a Natural 8.
The Tie bet pays 8:1 but carries a house edge of approximately 14.4%, making it the worst bet on the baccarat table. Experienced players at pdc888 almost universally avoid it and stick to Banker or Player.
No strategy can overcome the house edge in the long run, but a structured approach helps manage your bankroll and extend your session. Here is how the most common baccarat strategies compare.
| Strategy | Type | Risk Level | Best For | Recommended? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Banker-Only Betting | Flat / Static | Low | All player types, especially beginners | Yes |
| Martingale | Negative Progression | Very High | Players with deep bankrolls only | Caution |
| Paroli System | Positive Progression | Medium | Players who want to capitalise on winning streaks | Yes |
| Fibonacci | Negative Progression | Medium-High | Structured players comfortable with sequences | Moderate |
| Flat Betting | Static | Low | Players focused on entertainment over profit | Yes |
| 1-3-2-6 System | Positive Progression | Low-Medium | Casual players wanting structured sessions | Yes |
| Tie Bet Only | Proposition | Extreme | Not recommended under any circumstances | Avoid |
All baccarat strategies are tools for managing your bankroll and session structure — not methods for beating the house. The house edge exists on every bet in every round. Responsible players at pdc888 use strategies to control spending, not to guarantee profit. Please set a session budget before playing and stick to it. 18+ only. Gamble responsibly.
