Midi Baccarat

Baccarat

A version of baccarat played on a full-sized table with up to nine players, where the player with the largest wager on each side (player or banker) is allowed to handle and reveal the cards for that hand. The table minimums are typically higher than Mini Baccarat but lower than full-scale baccarat. All card drawing follows the standard Punto Banco tableau.

In practice

Popular in Macau and among Asian players who prefer handling cards. Surveillance must ensure the revealing player does not mark or damage cards during the squeeze ritual.
