Low. Main bets swing gently; Winning Total bets win between about 1 round in 10 and 1 in 4, so they swing more.
How bets settle
Payouts below describe winning profit. A winning bet normally also returns its stake, with exceptions shown in the settlement column. Commission and additional fees must also be accounted for.
| Bet | Profit payout | Commission and settlement | House edge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banker | 19 to 20 after commission | 5% of winning profit. Push on a Tie. | 1.06% |
| Player | 1 to 1 | Push on a Tie. | 1.24% |
| Tie | 8 to 1 | 14.36% | |
| Winning total 1 to 4 | 7.5 to 1 | The winning hand's final total. Loses on a tie. | 11.00% |
| Winning total 5 or 6 | 4 to 1 | The winning hand's final total. Loses on a tie. | 7.83% |
| Winning total 7 | 4.5 to 1 | The winning hand's final total. Loses on a tie. | 12.82% |
| Winning total 8 | 3 to 1 | The winning hand's final total. Loses on a tie. | 13.11% |
| Winning total 9 | 2.5 to 1 | The winning hand's final total. Loses on a tie. | 15.98% |
Additional fee: No additional wager surcharge.
A larger payout is not a better return by itself. The cost depends on how often that bet wins and on every commission, reduced payout and fee that applies.
The math behind Knockout Baccarat
We count every possible deal from a fresh eight deck shoe without replacing the cards, then apply this game's payouts. Naturals stop both hands. There are 4,998,398,275,503,360 ordered six card sequences; shorter hands are counted with the possible unused card orders. Every bet is priced separately.

| Banker | 45.86% | 9.52% | 98.94% | 1.06% |
| Player | 44.62% | 9.52% | 98.76% | 1.24% |
| Tie | 9.52% | 0.00% | 85.64% | 14.36% |
| Winning total 1 to 4 | 10.47% | 0.00% | 89.00% | 11.00% |

| Winning total 9 | 24.01% | 0.00% | 84.02% | 15.98% |
Main bets are standard: Banker pays 0.95 to 1 after the 5% commission, Player 1 to 1 and Tie 8 to 1.
The Winning Total bets name the final total of the winning hand: 1 to 4 pays 7.5 to 1, 5 or 6 pays 4 to 1, 7 pays 4.5 to 1, 8 pays 3 to 1 and 9 pays 2.5 to 1. They lose when the hands tie.
The table also offers a Natural Win bet on Player or Banker winning with a natural; its payout is shown in the game, so it is not priced here.

How Knockout Baccarat works
Choose your bet
Bet on Banker, Player or Tie, and pick a Winning Total if you want one.
Watch the fixed draws
The fixed drawing rules decide the hands, and with them the winning total.
Settle the round
Main bets settle as usual. A Winning Total bet pays if the winning hand ends on the total you chose.
Betting on the winning total
Knockout Baccarat is Ezugi’s own take on the game. The main game is standard eight deck punto banco with a 5% Banker commission. On top of it, the Winning Total bets ask what the winning hand’s final total will be, whichever side wins: 1 to 4, 5 or 6, 7, 8 or 9. A tie loses every Winning Total bet.
What they cost
The payouts run from 7.5 to 1 on a total of 1 to 4 down to 2.5 to 1 on a 9. Each is priced below its fair odds: the cheapest is 5 or 6 at a 7.83% house edge and the dearest is 9 at 15.98%. The main bets cost what they do on any commission table: Banker 1.06%, Player 1.24% and Tie 14.36%.
