In an other thread someone mentioned a new baccarat variant. Its called "Power Baccarat 98" rules pdf. It offers 2 new bets called "Banker Natural 8" (Banker wins with a natural 8) and "Banker Natural 9" (Banker wins with a natural 9) and player versions of those same bets. It also pays better on some outcomes when it is a "Power Hand" which happens when a die is shaken and shows a 3. (It didn't specify a 6 sided die, but I assumed this in my analysis.)
Here are the player ev's for all the bets based on 8 deck:
Banker -0.009224148714037
Player -0.010995904160731
Tie -0.13625890591204
Nat 9 -0.047586424276678
Nat 8 -0.073727391437436
Pair -0.095953042940995
And here is how often each hand type occurs:
