Experience the real thrill of baccarat with professional live dealers, only at RTM88. Tables open 24 hours, bets from RM5, and fully transparent odds.
Baccarat is more than just a card game. For many casino players in Malaysia, it represents elegance, excitement, and a genuine shot at winning. It has long been a favourite among local players – whether at physical casinos or on online platforms like RTM88.
The biggest advantage baccarat has over other casino games is its simplicity. You don't need to memorise complex strategies or wrap your head around lengthy rules. There are just three betting options – Player, Banker, or Tie. Pick your side, place your bet, and see who wins. It's that simple.
At RTM88, we take the baccarat experience to a whole new level. Through high-quality live streaming technology, you can sit at a real baccarat table with professional and friendly dealers – right from your smartphone or computer. No need to leave the house, dress up, or wait in line at a crowded physical casino.
We know Malaysian players like to play at all hours. Some prefer a late-night session after work. Others squeeze in a few rounds during an afternoon break. That's why RTM88's baccarat tables are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Our dealers rotate in shifts so you always get attentive, professional service.
If you're new to baccarat, don't worry. RTM88 offers a welcoming environment for beginners. Here are the basics you need to know before you start playing:
Each baccarat round involves two hands – the Player hand and the Banker hand. The aim is to predict which hand will come closest to 9. Card values are counted as follows: face cards (J, Q, K) and 10 are worth zero, Ace is worth 1, and cards 2 through 9 are worth their face value.
If the total of two cards exceeds 9, only the second digit counts. For example, 7 + 8 = 15, so the value is 5. A third card may be dealt based on specific rules that are applied automatically by the dealer. You don't need to make any decisions about the third card – the system handles it all.
Bet on Banker has a slightly higher win probability than Player, but is subject to a 5% commission. Bets on Player carry no commission. Tie offers a higher payout but wins far less often – best treated as an occasional side bet.

The advantages that make RTM88 the top choice for Malaysian baccarat players
A practical guide to improving your gameplay experience and results
While baccarat relies heavily on luck, there are several approaches that can help you manage your bankroll more wisely and keep the game going longer.
Statistically, Banker holds a slight edge over Player. Even with the 5% commission, Banker bets still offer a higher win probability over the long run. Many experienced players at RTM88 make Banker their go-to bet.
The 8:1 payout on a Tie bet is tempting, but it only hits around 9.6% of the time. Use Tie bets as an occasional side wager, not as your main strategy.
Before playing at RTM88, set a win limit (e.g. stop when you're up RM300) and a loss limit (e.g. stop when you're down RM200). This discipline keeps you in control and prevents unnecessary losses.
Never wager more than 5% of your bankroll in a single round. If your bankroll is RM500, your bet per round should not exceed RM25. This stretches your playing time and gives you more opportunities to recover.
