Bac Bo: How to Play Evolution's Dice Baccarat
Bac Bo is Evolution's dice version of baccarat. Instead of dealing cards, the game uses four dice: two for the Player and two for the Banker. You bet on which side will roll the higher total, or on a Tie. The Player's dice are shaken first, then the Banker's, and the side with the higher two-dice total wins. If the totals are equal, the round is a Tie. That is the entire game, which is why rounds are quick and easy to follow.
The rules, step by step
- Place your bet. Choose Player, Banker or Tie. The game's help screen lists every bet spot on the layout.
- The Player's dice. Two dice are shaken in a shaker and come to rest. Their total is the Player's score.
- The Banker's dice. Two more dice are shaken. Their total is the Banker's score.
- The result. The higher total wins. Equal totals produce a Tie. The game's help screen gives the Player and Banker payouts and what happens to those bets on a Tie.
Unlike card baccarat, there are no drawing rules to learn. You do not need to know when a third card is dealt, because there is no third card. Each side simply gets two dice.
The Tie bet in depth
The Tie is the bet that draws attention, because Evolution says it pays up to 88 to 1. That figure is the top of a range: the payout depends on which totals tied. The full Tie payout table by total is in the game's help screen.
Why would a tie on some totals pay more than others? It comes down to how two dice add up. With two dice, middle totals such as 7 can be made in many ways, while 2 and 12 can each be made in only one way. A tie on a rare total is far less likely than a tie on a common one, so it pays more. Evolution's page notes the varying payouts. The type of dice used is stated in the game's help screen.
Assuming fair six-sided dice, simple arithmetic puts the chance of any Tie at about 11.3% per round (146 combinations out of 1,296), leaving roughly 44.4% each for Player and Banker. That is our own calculation from the published rule, not a figure from Evolution.
| Theory (fair six-sided dice assumption) | Our data (2,066 rounds, 24 hours to 15 October 2026) | |
|---|---|---|
| Tie | 11.3% | 10.8% |
| Player | 44.4% | 45.4% |
| Banker | 44.4% | 43.9% |
Over a single day the recorded shares sit close to the theory, and small gaps like these are normal over a sample of this size.
RTP and house edge
Return to player (RTP) is the share of stakes a game is designed to pay back over a very long run; the remainder is the house edge. Evolution's public Bac Bo page does not list RTP, and figures quoted elsewhere have not been confirmed by an official source. You can find the exact figure for each bet in the game's help screen at your casino. Check the Tie's figure there before you treat it as a regular bet.
What our data shows
In the 24 hours to 15 October 2026 we recorded 2,066 Bac Bo rounds. The results were:
- Player: 45.4%
- Banker: 43.9%
- Tie: 10.8%
Those shares sit close to the rough arithmetic above. The gap between Player and Banker in a single day is ordinary variation; on another day the order could easily be reversed. You can see recent results and dice totals on the Bac Bo page.
Common misconceptions
"Banker has won five in a row, so Player is next." This is the gambler's fallacy. The dice have no memory. Each roll is a fresh event with the same odds as the one before.
"I can read the road and follow patterns." Score boards that show streaks are a record of what happened. They are useful for seeing the game's history, but they cannot tell you anything about the next roll.
"Doubling after a loss will win it back." A progression system changes how much you stake, not your odds. With table limits and a finite budget, a long losing run can end the system before it recovers. Our article Does the Martingale System Work? shows the arithmetic.
Before you play
Bac Bo rounds are short, so the number of bets per hour climbs quickly. Decide how much you can afford to spend and how long you want to play, and stop when you reach either limit. Our guide Setting Limits: A Practical Guide to Safer Play explains a few simple ways to stay in control.
Frequently asked questions
How is Bac Bo different from baccarat?
It keeps the Player, Banker and Tie bets but uses four dice instead of cards. Two dice belong to the Player, two to the Banker, and the higher total wins.
What does a Tie pay in Bac Bo?
Evolution says the Tie pays up to 88 to 1, and the payout depends on which totals tied. The full payout table is in the game's help screen.
Banker won several rounds in a row. Is Player more likely next?
No. Each roll of the dice is independent. A streak describes the past and has no effect on the next round.
