Live Baccarat Casino Game

We offer eight deck Live Baccarat with a live dealer and a real Baccarat table, with multiple players. The deck is shuffled when there is about two decks left in the shoe. We use standard Baccarat rules. You can see live video feed of the dealer in the left upper window, and multiplayer chat in the right upper window.

If you are not familiar with Baccarat, proceed straight to the Baccarat Rules. Return to this page after you have learned the rules.

To play the game:

· There probably is a game round in progress at the moment you enter. Please wait until the current game round is finished. You can then place your bets.

· Click on a chip of desired value to select it. Then move your cursor over the Baccarat table and click on either the Player, Banker or Tie bet area to place your bet there. Every click on the area adds one chip to the bet. Select another chip if you wish to increase the bet by some other amount. Right clicking on the area removes one chip. You can place several chips into several areas at the same time.

· You have about 25 seconds to place a bet. Then the next round is dealt and if your bet wins, you receive your winnings. You can skip a turn by simply not placing any bets on the table. When finished placing your bets, click the Confirm button.

Tip:
You have the option to give a tip to the dealer. To give a tip, place chips into the "Tip" area just like placing a bet. Give a tip BEFORE clicking on the Confirm button, otherwise it will not count.

Baccarat Rules:

The object of baccarat is to obtain a hand with a point total closest to 9. Aces count as one; 2 through 9 as their face value; tens and picture cards count as zero. If the value of the hand is ten points or more, subtract ten, and the remainder is the baccarat point value of the hand. For example: 7+6=13=3 and 4+6=10=0

Place your wager on the banker’s hand and/or on the player’s hand and/or on a tie. The player and the banker are then each dealt a two-card hand. In certain cases, a third card is dealt to the player or the banker or both (Third Card Rules). Cards are dealt from a shoe that holds 6 decks of cards. The decks are shuffled each round.

The player closest to 9, wins.
If you bet on the player and the player wins, you are paid 2 for 1 winnings on your bet.
If you bet on the banker and the banker wins, you are paid 2 for 1 minus 5% bank commission (vigorish).
If both the player’s hand and the banker’s hand have equal totals, the game result is a ‘tie’. If you have placed a bet on the ‘tie’ field, your payoff is 9 for 1.

Third Card Rules
The following baccarat rule chart governs when the player and/or the banker will automatically be dealt (i.e. “draws”) a third card in the baccarat game:

Player

Banker

Important note: If either the player and /or the Banker has a total of 8 or 9, they both stand. This Rule overrides all other rules.
