Types of baccarat games: of 93 lobby tables, 59 were Speed and 11 added a fee of 20% or more

2026-10-15

If a casino lobby shows more than ninety baccarat tables, how many of them play the plain game with the plain payouts?

This post does not rank sites. It checks what each word added to a table name changes, using Evolution's own game pages and rules, and turns that into things to look for in a lobby before choosing a site.

1.93 real lobby tables, sorted by name

From October 1 to 12, 2026, we collected shoes from 93 Evolution live baccarat tables. Sorted by the word added to each table name, they look like this.

▲ Tables with recorded shoes from October 1 to 12. Tables that differ only by dealer language or number were each counted once.

59 of the 93 tables were Speed tables. Only 2 were plain tables with nothing added to the name (Baccarat A and B).

Salon Privé came second with 14 tables. Evolution describes these as VIP tables for high wagering players who meet minimum bankroll requirements. Seeing one in the lobby does not mean anyone can sit there.

Game type: tables that keep the baccarat card rules but change the speed, payouts, fee or card reveal.

2.Seven table names to look for in a lobby

The points below come from Evolution's game page (Evolution live baccarat). Sites open different tables, so start by finding which of these seven names are there.

Speed: cards are dealt face up and a round takes 27 seconds, against about 48 for standard baccarat. Super Speed is only described as having minimal betting time
No Commission: no 5% is taken from Banker wins, but a Banker win with 6 pays 0.5 to 1. The Super 6 side bet pays 15 to 1
Lightning: a 20% fee is added to the bet, and 1 to 5 Lightning Cards carry 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 8x. XXXtreme Lightning charges 50%
Golden Wealth: a 20% Golden card fee is taken, and five Golden Cards each round carry 2x, 3x, 5x or 8x
Prosperity Tree: a 20% fee is applied, and eight cards each round carry 2x or 3x. Evolution says the multipliers are lower but land more often
Peek: a 20% fee applies to Player or Banker bets. Players see 1 to 4 cards first and may double or triple the bet
Squeeze: the dealer slowly reveals the cards of the side with more money on it. In Control Squeeze players peel back the card corner on screen themselves

▲ Based on Evolution's game pages. Check the payout details and RTP again in the help screen inside each table.

None of the seven changes the third card rule. What changes is the speed, the payout table and the fee added on top of the bet.

Speed, Super Speed and Squeeze change only the pace and the way cards are shown. Measured round gaps per table type are in Evolution baccarat table speeds.

No Commission is the one that changes the payout table. The calculation that lifts the Banker house share to 1.46% is in No Commission baccarat.

The other four are fee tables.

Of the 93 tables we collected, 11 were in this group.

Some names do not explain themselves. Among the collected tables, we could not find Always 9 Baccarat or Insurance Baccarat on Evolution's game page. For tables like these, read the payout table in the help screen first.

What to look for in a site's lobby

Is a plain rules table, with nothing added to the name, open
Are there slower tables besides Speed
Is there a regular commission table, not only No Commission
At fee tables, does the bet total show the fee separately
For an unfamiliar name, does the help screen list the payout table and RTP

3.What a 20% fee means in money

The Lightning rules give the example of a bet of 5 with a fee of 1, so 6 leaves the balance (Lightning Baccarat rules). Charged the same way, a bet of 10,000 won takes 12,000 won from the balance.

Golden Wealth, Prosperity Tree and Peek also list 20% on their pages. None of the three pages gives an RTP figure.

Assuming 100 bets of 10,000 won, the fee alone comes to 200,000 won. How much of it comes back through multipliers can only be worked out with an RTP.

Without a published RTP, there is no way to calculate what the fee is worth. For Lightning, that calculation is done with the RTP from its rules in Lightning baccarat compared.

▲ At an unfamiliar table, writing down the payout table and fee from the help screen before betting keeps things clear.

4.Check side bet spots separately

Whatever the table type, most tables also have side bet spots such as Player Pair and Banker Pair. By Evolution's page, a pair pays 11 to 1.

The rules list the pair RTP as 89.64% (Evolution baccarat rules). On a 10,000 won bet that means an average loss of 1,036 won.

Against an average of 106 won on a 10,000 won Banker bet, that is close to ten times as much. Even at the same table, the share lost depends on which spot the money goes to.

After the table list, the next things to check are round speed and deposit and withdrawal costs. Those numbers are in how to choose a baccarat site, and the difference between live and RNG tables is in live dealer baccarat online.

Summary

59 of the 93 real lobby tables we collected were Speed, and only 2 were plain tables with nothing added to the name
The seven names keep the card rules and change speed, payout tables and fees, and four of them add a fee of 20% or more
At fee tables check the RTP in the help screen, and check side bets spot by spot, such as the 89.64% pair RTP
