Mini baccarat is very similar to regular baccarat, but there are a few differences between the games that are worth noting.
The first difference is that, at a mini baccarat table, a dealer deals all of the hands and the players are not allowed to handle the cards at any time. A second difference is that the betting minimums are always lower at a mini-baccarat table than they are at a regular baccarat table.
Regarding betting opportunities, both games carry the same house edge on all three wagers (Player, Banker and the tie). The player bet has a 1.36% casino advantage, the banker bet, a 1.17% house edge, and the tie wager, a bet you should never make, carries a hefty house advantage of 14.1%.
Other than that, the rules of baccarat and mini baccarat are virtually the same.
