About the Project: Cards on the Table

What We Do, and What We Refuse to Do

The project covers baccarat in two languages. We explain rules and variants, set live tables against RNG ones, publish the math openly and keep a demo table open without registration. We are not an operator: no bets, no accounts, no payouts.

Articles are published as language pairs — English and Russian — and every figure matches across the two.

Who Is Behind the Text

Pavel Zadorin — editor-in-chief, 8 years in gambling analytics. He started as a payment-scenario tester and has written casino reviews and rating methods since 2021. Every operator in the rating is checked on a real account: table limits recorded in the lobby, actual withdrawal time measured, support tested in Russian. His speciality is baccarat: rules, payout speed and live-table limits.

Sergey Melnikov — editor: odds math, fact-checking and source work. He cross-checks payout tables against game rules and independent calculations and makes sure every figure carries a source and a check date.

How the Project Pays for Itself

Affiliate links keep the lights on. Register with an operator through our link and that operator pays us a commission; your price and terms stay untouched. Other listed operators pay us too.

Scores remain independent of that money: cons are mandatory for every casino, the order follows the published method, and affiliate links carry rel="nofollow sponsored".

Principles We Do Not Bend

Each figure carries a source and a check date. Casino data comes from the operator’s own site or a live-account test; unconfirmable claims are cut outright rather than softened. Play from 18 (21 where required), and if the game stops being fun, the Responsible Gambling block in the footer lists free helplines.
