SA Gaming Baccarat Side Bets
Side Bets
Boost Your Winnings with Premium Side Bets
SA Gaming Baccarat offers one of the richest selections of side bets in the online live casino industry. Each side bet has been meticulously developed to bring new challenges and additional winning opportunities to every round of baccarat.
Available Side Bets
Lucky Six
Lucky Six is the highest-paying side bet in SA Gaming Baccarat. Bet that the Banker wins with a hand totalling exactly six points. A two-card Lucky Six pays 12:1, while a three-card Lucky Six delivers 20:1. The overall maximum payout reaches 50x the initial bet, making Lucky Six the most exciting optional wager at the table.
2 Cards Lucky Six & 3 Cards Lucky Six
These dedicated Lucky Six variants let players specifically target whether the winning six will be achieved with two or three cards. Each carries its own distinct payout structure, adding strategic depth to your betting session.
Perfect Pair
Win when the first two cards dealt to the Player or Banker are a perfect pair — same rank and same suit. Perfect Pair typically pays 25:1 and is one of the most popular high-reward side bets among SA Gaming players.
Any Pair
A more frequent winning condition than Perfect Pair: Any Pair wins whenever the first two cards of the Player or Banker hand share the same rank, regardless of suit. Standard payout is 11:1.
Player Bonus & Banker Bonus (Dragon Bonus)
The Dragon Bonus pays when your chosen side wins by a large margin or scores a natural hand (a two-card total of eight or nine). Winning by nine points pays 30:1. A natural win with no tie pays 1:1.
2025 New Side Bets
In March 2025, SA Gaming announced the launch of new side bets in its flagship Baccarat game. Every new side bet has been meticulously developed to bring fresh challenges and renewed excitement for existing and new players alike. Full details on the latest additions are available at the live tables.
Side Bet Strategy Tips
Manage Your Side Bet Budget Separately
Side bets carry higher house edges than the main Banker or Player bets. Treat your side bet allocation as a separate entertainment fund to protect your core bankroll.
Prioritise Lucky Six for Maximum Payout
If you are targeting the biggest possible payout from a single round, Lucky Six offers the highest ceiling at 50x, combining relatively reasonable frequency with an outstanding reward.
