What Is the Royal 9 Baccarat Side Bet?

The Royal 9 side bet is a wager that pays when the player or banker hand forms a two-card total of nine using a combination of a 9 and a face card (King, Queen, or Jack) of the same suit. The side bet can be placed alongside your regular baccarat wager, and it's resolved independently of the main game's outcome. Because this hand is both specific and rare, it comes with a high payout when it hits. However, this also means that it comes with higher odds against you. 

Is Royal 9 the Same as Baccarat?

No. Baccarat is the main game, where you bet on whether the Player or Banker hand will be closer to a total of nine. Royal 9 is a side bet within baccarat that focuses on a specific suited combination. You can play baccarat without making a Royal 9 wager, but adding the side bet increases the excitement and potential rewards without changing the basic rules of the main game.

How to Play the Royal 9 Side Bet

Playing the Royal 9 baccarat side bet is easy. Before the cards are dealt, make your standard baccarat wager on the Player, Banker, or Tie. If you want to participate in Royal 9, place your side bet in the designated betting circle.
The dealer then deals two cards to the Player's hand and two cards to the Banker's hand. If either the Player or Banker hand is a two-card nine made up of a suited 9 and a face card (K, Q, or J), the Royal 9 bet wins according to the payout table.
The side bet is paid out regardless of who wins the main baccarat hand. Therefore, the side bet can be a hedge against your losses, or it can be an addition to your winnings.

What Are the Royal 9 Baccarat Payouts?

Payouts for the Royal 9 baccarat side bet can vary by casino, but a common paytable looks like this:

  • Royal 9 in Both Hands: 100 to 1
Because these outcomes are rare, they deliver high-value rewards that can significantly enhance your baccarat session.

Royal 9 Baccarat Odds

The Royal 9 side bet is a rare event in baccarat, which is why it offers such generous payouts. While the exact odds can vary slightly depending on the number of decks in play, in most standard eight-deck baccarat games, the probability of a Royal 9 occurring in either the player or banker hand is less than 3 percent. The odds of both hands being a Royal 9 at the same time are even lower, making the 100-to-1 payout especially enticing. Because the occurrence is infrequent, the side bet should be treated as an exciting bonus rather than a consistent winning strategy.

FAQs About Royal 9 Baccarat

Learning the answers to some frequently asked questions can help you feel more confident when you come to the table to play. Here are the answers to some of the most commonly asked questions we get about Royal 9 Baccarat:

Is the Royal 9 Side Bet Available in All Baccarat Games?

Not always. Availability depends on the specific table and game variant. Always check with the dealer or table signage to confirm if the Royal 9 baccarat option is offered before you play.

Can the Royal 9 Side Bet Be Combined With Other Bets?

Yes. You can place the Royal 9 side bet alongside your primary baccarat bet - whether you're betting on the Player, Banker, or Tie - and even combine it with other side bets if the table allows. Each side bet is evaluated separately from the primary game outcome.

How Does the Royal 9 Side Bet Differ From Other Side Bets?

Most baccarat side bets focus on predicting point totals, pairs, or ties. The Royal 9 is unique because it rewards a specific suited combination rather than a general outcome. This makes it more challenging to hit, but also more rewarding when it does occur.
