American Baccarat table has a middle
area for the croupier and two identical
ends. The typical layout of the baccarat
table is shown on the image.
Areas on the Baccarat Table:
1. Caller ("Croupier")
2. Dealer
3. Dealer
4. Drop Box
5. Discard Trays
6. Tips box
Only 14 players occupy the seats
which correspond to the numbers on
the layout. At the American Baccarat
table the No. 13 seat is eliminated,
because of the superstition that surrounds
the number.
The 14th player will be seated at
No. 15. Wagers are placing in a section
in front of the players.
Corresponding to the possible choices
at the beginning of each game the
player has three betting areas associated
with his position at the table: "Banker",
"Player" or "Tie".

by three dealers. The “Caller”
or
”Croupier” directs the
play of the game and makes calls on
the

In front of him are two other dealers
work on the position 2 and 3.
Number two serves players one through
seven, the other serves
eight through fourteen. The dealers
takes bets away on losses and pay
bets when a player wins. There are
numbered boxes in the croupier area,
which are used to track how much commission
