Push [Meaning] - MasterTerms.com

In Baccarat, a push typically happens when the game ends in a tie between the player and the banker. In this case, if the player didn’t place a tie bet, their original wager is returned, with no payout or loss. This rule allows players to keep their stakes for the next round without any deductions or gains, making it a neutral outcome.

Push Example

For example, if you bet $100 on the player and the game ends in a tie, you receive your $100 back with no win or loss.
