How to Play Salon Privé Baccarat
Six steps from the door of the private room to your first hand — built only from what Evolution publishes about Salon Privé.
Get Into the Private Room
Salon Privé is not a table you drop into. Evolution describes it as reserved for high-wagering players and gates it behind a minimum bankroll requirement. Five private tables exist across the suite — one roulette, three blackjack, one baccarat — and each carries its own minimum bet. Evolution publishes none of those figures, so the range you will actually face is the one in your operator’s limits panel.
Pick Your Dealer
The first thing on Evolution’s published Salon Privé feature list is choice of dealer. On a public live table you take whoever is on rotation; here you choose, and that dealer stays with your table. A VIP Room Manager is on the floor for the whole session as well.
Call the Shuffle
Control of the shuffle is the second published feature. It doesn’t change a probability — a shuffled shoe is a shuffled shoe — but it does mean the rhythm of the session belongs to you rather than to a room of other players waiting on their own hands.
Place Your Bet
The cards follow standard baccarat rules: back the Player hand, the Banker hand, or the Tie, and the hand closest to nine wins. Evolution charges a 5% commission on Banker wins in its standard Baccarat — that is the whole selling point of its separate No Commission Baccarat table. The exact payouts at your table are printed in the game’s own paytable panel.
Add Side Bets If You Want Them
Player Pair and Banker Pair are the default side bets and each pays 11 to 1. An operator can also switch on Player Bonus, Banker Bonus, Either Pair and Perfect Pairs™ in the game settings, and Evolution quotes odds of up to 200 to 1 at the top of that optional set. Which ones you see is an operator decision, not a fixed part of the game.
Set the Pace With ‘Deal Now’
The last published control is game speed. Tap ‘Deal Now’ when you want the next hand instead of waiting out the betting timer — the Salon Privé roulette table uses ‘Spin Now’ for the same job. Slowing down doesn’t improve your odds, but it does cut how much you wager per hour, which is the one lever that reliably changes what a session costs.
The Payouts Evolution Publishes
Short list, and deliberately so. These are the figures Evolution prints on its own baccarat pages. The Player, Banker and Tie main-bet payouts follow standard baccarat rules and are shown in the game's paytable panel, which is where you should read them rather than taking a number off a review site.
Game Features
Four published features, and none of them touches the odds. For the full breakdown, see the Salon Privé Baccarat feature guide.
One Player, One Table
Evolution calls Salon Privé a one-to-one, single-player private table. Nobody else joins, bets or watches. The table exists for your session and the shoe runs at your pace, not a room full of strangers’.
You Pick the Dealer
The published Salon Privé feature list starts with choice of dealer. You are not assigned whoever is on rotation — you choose, and that dealer stays with your table.
Shuffle and Pace Control
Two more controls Evolution names: you call the shuffle, and you set the game speed with the ‘Deal Now’ button. Sit and think between hands, or push straight to the next deal. Nobody is waiting on you.
A VIP Room Manager On Hand
Evolution says a VIP Room Manager is present at all times in Salon Privé. Access comes with a minimum bankroll requirement, which is how the room stays limited to high-wagering players.
VIP Strategy Tips
Find your limits before you sit. Evolution says the five Salon Privé tables each have a different minimum and that the room offers high maximum bets, but it prints no numbers and states a minimum bankroll requirement for access. Open the limits panel at your operator, note the floor and the ceiling, and decide your session budget against those — not against a figure you read somewhere else.
There is no published RTP, and that is fine. Baccarat’s return depends on which spot you back, so one percentage would be misleading anyway. The paytable panel in the game is the authoritative source for the table you are actually sitting at.
Pace is the lever you own. The ‘Deal Now’ button lets you speed the shoe up, which also speeds up how fast you wager. Running slower doesn’t improve a single hand, but it cuts the total you put through the table in an hour — and total wagered is what the house edge works on.
Treat the side bets as the fun line. Pairs at 11 to 1 and the optional set reaching 200 to 1 are long shots by construction, and whether they appear at all is an operator setting. Keep them small relative to your main bet and you keep the swings where you want them.
