Quantum Baccarat completes a trifecta of Quantum live dealer multiplier games from Playtech, joining the already popular Quantum Blackjack and Quantum Roulette.
It’s been a long time coming, but it’s finally here. With Quantum Baccarat, you get two games in one: Commission and No Commission Baccarat, making it easy for Baccarat enthusiasts to play this game.
Between one to five betting positions can receive the multipliers, with 888x available on the side bets and 88x on the Player/Banker/Tie betting positions.
Broadcast from a specially designed studio, this game uses the latest playing interface, which makes everything you see on screen pop!
In this review, I’ll explain how to play and provide details of the multipliers available for each bet position. I’ll also cover my betting strategies, and you can watch me play a few game rounds in my Video Review.
The multipliers available at each of the bet spots are different. Each bet spot has a range that the game’s RNG engine selects from.
Multipliers can be applied to between one and five bet positions in each game. They appear more often on the Side bet positions, which are traditionally the harder bets to win, so I guess it makes sense.
The good news is that all bet positions are quality for multipliers, so you don’t have to chase them or change your playing style to get the benefit.
Quantum Baccarat has two playing options: Commission and No Commission Baccarat Rules. The multipliers and standard rules apply to both; the only difference is the house edge calculation.
In No-Commission Baccarat, when the Banker wins with a Six, the payout is 0.5:1. In Commission Baccarat, 0.05% commission is taken from each Banker’s win, so the payout is expressed as 0.95:1.
The objective of Baccarat is to bet on the Banker or Player hand, predicting which one will win with a hand value higher than the other. You can also bet on whether the hands will tie and a range of optional side bets.
I’ve already covered how to play Baccarat in detail in another article, which I suggest you look at. I’ll summarise the main points here.
I play a £10 bet on the Player bet spot. Note in the Roadmaps that the Player is marked as a Good Road; this shows a streak happening.
The multiplier of 5x is applied to the Player Hand – lucky me!
The player’s hand wins, and I receive a payout of 5x my bet, which is £50.
The RTP for Quantum baccarat is 98.76% for the Player Bet and 98.94% for the Banker. However, in No Commission, the Banker has a slightly lower RTP of 98.66%.
The payouts range from 0.95:1 to 888:1. For the main playing positions, Player/Banker, the multipliers can be as high as 88:1, while the side-bets deliver the 888:1 payouts.
The bigger payouts are on the riskier bets of the game, a clever trick by Paytech, as they want you to play them so they make more money. The lure, of course, is the one time when the bet comes off, and you get a multiplier payout.
| Bet | Payout | RTP |
|---|---|---|
| No Commission Mode | ||
| Banker ** | 1:1 (2-87 :1) | 98.66% |
| Player | 1:1 (2-87 :1) | 98.76% |
| Tie | 8:1 (21-887 :1) | 95.06% |

| Side Bets | ||
| Player Pair | 11:1 (21 – 887:1) | 95.08% |
| Banker Pair | 11:1 (21 – 887:1) | 95.08% |
| Perfect Pair | 25:1 (43 – 887:1) | 95.06% |
| Either Pair | 5:1 (10 – 887:1) | 95.06% |
| Big | 0.54:1 (2 – 87:1) | 95.04% |
| Small | 1.5:1 (3 – 87:1) | 95.04% |
| ** Banker Wins with a 6 pays 0.5:1 | ||
It’s good news for the strategy that the Quantum Multipliers are available on every bet type. This means you don’t have to alter the usual way you play; you can stick to your favourite playing strategies.
I advocate following trends, and that doesn’t necessarily mean jumping on an existing trend; it can mean starting your own.
My strategy is straightforward.
This strategy works well if you get two or three successful bets on the same playing position. It doesn’t work well if you get a sequence of losses, which is possible. If you get more than three losses in sequence, I’d stop betting and reassess the strategy. Maybe you need to switch to alternating bets on each position for a while.
Note: These are playing and betting strategies, not winning strategies. No one can guarantee you’ll win, so always bet within your means and bankroll. If you’re losing, make sure to take a break and come back another time.
There are, at my last count, six baccarat games with multipliers.
Evolution leads the way with Golden Wealth, Lightning, Xxxtreme Lightning and Prosperity Tree Baccarats. Iconic21 has Grand Bonus Baccarat, and Pragmatic Play has Mega Baccarat.
None of them are the same.
The closest to Quantum Baccarat is Lightning Baccarat, as both give multipliers to all bet positions. Quantum has a better range of side bets, so this may be why you’d choose it over the other games. Fees range from 5% to 50%, so the 20% Quantum charges sit in the middle.
The payouts range up to 1000x for the Player/Banker Bets on other games, with the Tie bet offering much more on the Lightning games and Golden Wealth. Quantum offers a max payout of 888x and only 88x on the Player/Banker bet positions.
Quantum Baccarat is a middle-of-the-road multiplier game. It doesn’t have the really big payouts, but it does offer multipliers on all the bet spots and has a good range of side bets. You’re not missing out by playing this version.
As I understand, this is the last hurrah for the Quantum brand of multiplier games; I don’t think we’ll see another game with this brand, although there will be more multiplier games.
Quantum Baccarat delivers to the brand, with the studio and use of multipliers consistent across all Quantum games.
The multiplier values are OK and offer a good return for the 20% fee. It’s great that the multipliers cover all bet spots and understandably use different ranges depending on the bet spot.
The most frequent bets of Player/Banker have a max payout of 88x. Unsurprisingly, the multipliers don’t seem to hit those bet spots as frequently as you’d like, but instead, they cover the side bets most of the time.
If you’re a Playtech fan, there is no reason to play another multiplier baccarat game; this one is good.
Quantum Baccarat is Baccarat with boosted payouts for up to five bet spots each game round. The payout can be up to 888x on the Side bets, while the Player and Banker can be boosted to 88x.
The maximum multiplier can be 888x, payable on the side bets.
A mandatory fee of 20% of your total bet is required when you play Quantum Baccarat. It’s in place to fund the Multiplier payouts.
Yes, the playing interface offers a complete selection of maps. These include the Bead Road, Big Road, Big Eye Road, Small Road, and Cockroach Road. The maps are updated every game round and record the results of the previous hands.
You can play Quantum Baccarat in Commission and No Commission Modes. Each has slightly different playing rules.
It’s not better, just different. The RTP remains the same as the way you play the game. It is more highly volatile because of the extra fee and multiplier payouts, but you don’t have to vary how you play. Just be aware that your bankroll can disappear faster than you’re used to.
You can play at any Playtech Live Casino. You’ll find the game in the Baccarat lobby.
