Baccarat Table Layout

The American Baccarat table is made up of two similar parts and a central area for the caller or croupier (1). You can see the baccarat table layout in the picture:

The table can be occupied by up to 14 players. They sit on both sides of the table. In the picture you can see numbers corresponding to the seats from 1 to 15. There is no #13 because many people think this is the unhappiest number. That’s why, the 14th player has #15. There are 3 sections: "Banker", "Player" or "Tie"for placing bets in front of every player.

There are 3 dealers at the baccarat table. The first dealer called the "caller" or "croupier" (1) stands in the middle of the table between numbers 1 and 15. The caller directs the game play. Players deal the cards themselves, so, the caller watches very closely what is happening at the table and makes calls on the hands. The dealers (2 and 3) serve their sides of the table: Dealer 2 seats 1 - 7, Dealer 3 seats 8 – 15. They watch all wagers to be made properly and pay out the wins and take out the losses.

In the middle area there are boxes 4, 5 and 6. 4 is the Drop Box, 5 is the Discard Trays (the place where cards are placed after they have been discarded from the shoe), 6 is the Tip Box.

Mini Baccarat Table

Mini Baccarat Table looks like half of the typical baccarat table. There are 7 seats for the players. The Caller is in front of the players in the middle of the table. This position allows the caller to reach all the places on the table. Near the caller there is a chip rack (1), seven boxes (2) for the commission each player owes.

In front of each player there are 3 betting areas. 5 is for a player bet, 4 is for a banker bet and 3 is for a tie.

Online Baccarat table

The Online Baccarat table is similar to the Mini Baccarat Table. Only 1 player plays at the table, the dealer is virtual. In front of the player there are betting areas: Player, Banker and Tie. Some casinos also offer Side bets.
