EZ Baccarat in Sacramento

EZ Baccarat is not only one of the most popular baccarat variants but also one of the easiest casino games to play. In this game, players place a wager on the Banker’s hand or Player’s hand before two cards are dealt to each hand, with the possibility of drawing an additional card. The goal is to reach the point value closest to nine.

Capitol Casino offers EZ Baccarat (Easy Bac) in Sacramento, providing players with a fast, commission-free baccarat experience in a friendly card room. Conveniently located near downtown Sacramento, Capitol Casino welcomes players from across the region, including Elk Grove, Citrus Heights, Rancho Cordova, West Sacramento, Roseville, and nearby Sacramento County communities.

EZ Baccarat is also referred to as Easy Bac.

EZ Baccarat vs Original Baccarat

EZ Baccarat keeps the same gameplay as traditional baccarat but removes the 5% commission on banker wins. To balance the odds, a winning three-card banker 7 pushes instead of paying.

Key Differences

• Commission

  • Original Baccarat: Banker wins pay even money minus a 5% commission

  • EZ Baccarat: No 5% commission on banker wins

• House Edge

  • Original Baccarat: Banker ~1.06%, Player ~1.24%

  • EZ Baccarat: Similar overall odds, but the barred banker 7 slightly adjusts payouts while keeping a competitive house edge

• Side Bet

  • EZ Baccarat offers the Dragon 7 side bet, paying when the banker wins with a three-card 7

• Pace of Play

  • Original Baccarat: Slower due to commission tracking

  • EZ Baccarat: Faster and smoother since payouts are immediate

Overall, EZ Baccarat delivers quicker action and simpler payouts while keeping the familiar strategy players already know.

How Is It Played?

To start the EZ Baccarat, the players place a wager on the Banker’s hand, the Player’s hand, the “Tie” (or Base Game Wager), or a combination of these.

Meanwhile, anyone who makes a wager on “Tie” may also place a “Dragon 7” bet, which is a three-card winning Bank hand totaling seven points.

All wagers, which must be between the minimum and maximum table limit, are resolved through these rules:

• In Player Win, all Player wagers are paid one-to-one, with the Bank, Tie, and Dragon 7 as the losing party.
• In Bank Win, all Bank wagers are paid one-to-one, with the Player, Tie, and Dragon 7 as the losing party.
• In the event of a Tie, Tie wagers are paid eight to one, while Bank and Player wagers push and the Dragon 7 wagers lose.
• In Dragon 7 win, Dragon 7 wagers are paid 40 to one, with the Player and Tie wagers losing and the Bank wagers pushing.

Additional Details

Just like in the standard casino games, this baccarat variant follows the rotating player-dealer position, which pays all winners and collects money from losers.
