Understanding the bet types, payouts, and house edges in Dreams of Macao will help you make smarter decisions at the 789pub table. Here's a complete breakdown.
| Bet Type | Payout | House Edge | Recommended For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banker | 0.95:1 | 1.06% | All players — statistically the best bet in baccarat and Dreams of Macao |
| Player | 1:1 | 1.24% | Players who want even-money returns without the commission deduction |
| Tie | 8:1 | 14.36% | Occasional thrill bet only — not recommended for sustained play |
| Player Pair | 11:1 | 10.36% | Side bet players looking for a higher payout with moderate risk |
| Banker Pair | 11:1 | 10.36% | Side bet players who prefer the Banker side of the table |
| Super Six | 12:1 | 16.95% | Thrill seekers who want a high-reward side option — use small bet sizes |

Filipino baccarat regulars who consistently bet Banker will lose at the slowest possible rate on the Dreams of Macao tables.
