Panda 8

Baccarat (EZ Baccarat)REPORTED

A side bet in EZ Baccarat that pays 25:1 when the player hand wins with a three-card total of 8 and the banker hand has less than 8. The Panda 8 complements the Dragon 7 side bet and exists within the commission-free EZ Baccarat framework. When Panda 8 hits, the main player bet wins normally.

In practice

The Panda 8 has a house edge of approximately 10.2%. It occurs slightly more frequently than the Dragon 7. Both side bets are what make the commission-free EZ Baccarat model viable for the house.
