The Pale Banker

How to Play

• Bet on which named hand finishes closest to 9: Player, Banker, or Tie. Everyone at a shared table wagers against the same deal.
• Aces count 1; tens and faces count 0. Only the last digit counts, so 7 + 8 is 5. Drawing is automatic under the standard baccarat third-card rules.
• Player pays 1:1. Tie pays 8:1. Banker pays 1:1, except a Banker win totaling 6 pays 1:2.
• Play Solo has one seat and no clock. With Friends creates a room code for two to four seats. Public rooms appear in the lobby.
• Shared tables allow 25 seconds to lock a wager. Ready seats share one eight-deck shoe and one server-authoritative result.
• Wagers use free Bone Chips only—never real money, never redeemable, and never connected to Souls.
