Salon Privé Baccarat Glossary

40 terms covering Salon Privé Baccarat's VIP private table ($50-$50K), player-controlled squeeze, dedicated dealer, Punto Banco rules, side bets, and Roads pattern tracking.

Autoplay

Salon Privé Baccarat is a live VIP table game — pacing set by the player, not autoplay. ~30 hands per hour at typical pace. The player-controlled squeeze means rounds run as slowly as you want them to.

Banker Bet

Salon Privé Baccarat's mathematically optimal main wager. Pays 0.95:1 (after 5% commission). Banker wins 45.86% of hands. House edge: 1.06% — lowest of any major casino game.

Base Game

Salon Privé Baccarat runs standard Punto Banco — Player vs Banker, four cards face-down, Third Card Rule fires automatically. The VIP table structure and player-controlled squeeze are presentation; underlying math is identical to any baccarat variant.

Big Road / Bead Plate / Derived Roads

Salon Privé Baccarat's pattern-tracking scorecard suite. Big Road shows Player/Banker wins as red/blue marks. Bead Plate is compact. Big Eye Boy / Small Road / Cockroach Pig are derived from Big Road via different temporal offsets. All update live but have no predictive value.

Bonus Buy

Salon Privé Baccarat is a live VIP table game — no Bonus Buy mechanic. Side bets provide the variance/upside that Bonus Buy provides in slots.

Cascading Reels (Tumble)

Salon Privé Baccarat doesn't use cascades — it's a card game, not a slot. Four cards dealt face-down, player squeezes them open, totals scored, payouts resolved.

Cluster Pays

Salon Privé Baccarat doesn't use cluster pays — it's VIP Baccarat. Wins resolve through 3 main bets (Player/Banker/Tie) plus side bets.

Commission

Salon Privé Baccarat's 5% fee on winning Banker bets. $100 winning Banker pays $95 profit. Compensates for Banker's slightly higher win rate.

Dedicated Dealer

Salon Privé Baccarat's VIP feature. One assigned dealer handles your entire session — no rotating between hands, no shared coverage with other tables. The dealer learns your preferences (timing, chat style, squeeze pace) over the session.

Favourite Bets

Salon Privé Baccarat's saved-bet feature. Store your template ($1,000 Banker + $200 side bet, etc.) and reload between hands. Particularly useful at VIP stakes where chip placement should be repeatable.

Five Bet

Salon Privé Baccarat doesn't use the Five Bet — that's an American Roulette term. Baccarat has its own bet structure (Player, Banker, Tie + side bets).

Free Spins

Salon Privé Baccarat doesn't use Free Spins — it's a card game. The deal-bet-squeeze-resolve loop is the entire game cycle.

High-Roller Limits

Salon Privé Baccarat's bet range: $50 minimum to $50,000 maximum per hand. Filters the seat to high-stake regulars. Regular live baccarat starts at $1; VIP tables typically start at $5-$25; Salon Privé starts at $50 — the highest minimum across Evolution's baccarat catalog.

Hit Frequency

Salon Privé Baccarat's hand distribution. Banker 45.86%, Player 44.62%, Tie 9.52%. Side bet hit rates: Player Pair / Banker Pair ~7.47% each, Perfect Pair ~3.4%.

House Edge

Salon Privé Baccarat's mathematical advantage to the casino. Banker: 1.06%. Player: 1.24%. Tie: 14.36%. Side bets: 8-12%. The VIP table structure has zero impact on edge — pure premium experience.

Live Dealer

Salon Privé Baccarat's entire format. Real human dealer in an Evolution studio operates a physical shoe. The dealer is exclusively yours for the session. Studio runs 24/7 but Salon Privé tables have limited capacity — book ahead during peak hours.

Max Win

Salon Privé Baccarat's top single-hand payout. 200x on side bets at rarest tier. At $50,000 max Banker stake, you pull $47,500 profit per winning Banker hand — meaningful absolute amount even at 0.95:1 ratio.

Megaways

Salon Privé Baccarat doesn't use Megaways. Megaways is a slot mechanic; Baccarat is a card game.

Multiplier

Salon Privé Baccarat doesn't use multipliers in the slot sense. Payout ratios (1:1, 0.95:1, 8:1, 11:1, 25:1) act as fixed multipliers on winning bets.

Natural

Salon Privé Baccarat's automatic-win condition. A two-card total of 8 or 9. Ends the hand immediately — no Third Card.

Outside Bets

Salon Privé Baccarat's Tie bet is the closest long-shot wager. 9.52% hit rate, 8:1 payout, 14.36% house edge. Mathematically dominated by Banker and Player.

Personalized Service

Salon Privé Baccarat's VIP differentiator. Dedicated dealers learn your preferences. Take 30 seconds to think between hands. Chat as much or as little as you want. The dealer engages or stays silent based on your cues — VIP service translated to the digital table.

Player Bet

Salon Privé Baccarat's second-best main wager. Pays 1:1 (no commission). Player wins 44.62% of hands. House edge: 1.24%.

Player-Controlled Squeeze

Salon Privé Baccarat's signature interaction. After cards are dealt face-down, YOU drag corners with your mouse or finger to peel them open at your own speed. Reveal a corner pip first, rotate the card, decide whether to keep peeling or flip outright. The dealer waits. Mimics the live-pit ritual where high rollers handle the cards themselves.

Player Pair / Banker Pair / Perfect Pair

Salon Privé Baccarat's pair side bets. Player Pair pays 11:1 when Player receives matching ranks. Banker Pair same. Perfect Pair pays 25:1 (matching rank AND suit). Each carries ~10% house edge.

Private Table

Salon Privé Baccarat's defining VIP feature. No shared table, no spectators. When you sit down, the dealer is yours alone. Other players can't join, watch, or influence your session. When you leave, the table closes until the next VIP reservation.

RNG

Salon Privé Baccarat is a live VIP game — outcomes determined by physical cards from a real shoe, not RNG.

Roadmaps (Five Roads)

Salon Privé Baccarat's pattern-tracking suite. Big Road, Bead Plate, Big Eye Boy, Small Road, Cockroach Pig. All update live. Used by traditional VIP players for engagement.

RTP

Salon Privé Baccarat returns 98.94% on Banker, 98.76% on Player, 85.64% on Tie. Side bets return ~88-92%. The VIP private table has zero impact on RTP — pure premium experience.

Scatter

Salon Privé Baccarat doesn't use scatters — it's a card game. Side bets serve a similar role but resolve via card totals, not symbol-count triggers.

Session Variance

Salon Privé Baccarat's variance at $50-$50K stakes can be substantial in absolute dollar terms despite low percentage volatility. Banker betting produces 100-hand sessions returning 80-130% of wager. At $1,000 average bet, that's a $20-$30K swing per typical session.

Side Bets

Salon Privé Baccarat's optional wagers placed alongside main bets. Player Pair (11:1), Banker Pair (11:1), Perfect Pair (25:1). All carry double-digit house edge — variance plays at small relative stake.

Squeeze Ritual

Salon Privé Baccarat's player-controlled version of the classic baccarat squeeze. Instead of dealer-driven reveal, YOU control the peel pace. Drag a corner up to expose pip values one edge at a time. Particularly important at high stakes where rituals add weight to each hand.

Sticky Wild

Salon Privé Baccarat doesn't use Sticky Wilds — it's a card game without wild symbol mechanics.

Third Card Rule

Salon Privé Baccarat's automatic draw mechanic. Player draws if total 0-5, stands 6-7. Banker's draw depends on Banker total AND Player's third card per published rule table.

Tie Bet
