Baccarat against blackjack, roulette and slots — ranked by what each actually costs per hour at your stake, not just by the headline edge.
House Edge Compare
Baccarat against the rest of the floor, ranked by what each game actually costs per hour at your stake.
Cost per hour = typical hands/hour × your stake × house edge. Pace matters as much as edge: slots cost the most not only because of the edge, but because of 400+ spins an hour. Live baccarat’s leisurely pace is a built-in discount.
Why pace matters as much as edge
Cost per hour = hands per hour × stake × edge. Slots aren’t expensive only because of the edge — it’s the 400+ spins an hour. Live baccarat’s ~45 hands an hour is a structural discount no other table game matches. We unpack this in live dealer vs RNG baccarat.
