There are only a handful of major bets to understand in live Baccarat, including The Player, the Banker, and a Tie. The objective is to form a hand value as close to 9 as possible. Any hand value greater than 9 automatically has the tens digit removed. Each game is played with 8 decks of 52 cards each. You simply pick the betting option you think will win – the Player Hand, the Banker Hand, or a Tie Hand. The rules are easy to understand, and the payouts are plenty generous.

Rules

Our Live Baccarat dealers are ready to instantly deal you in. Before you get started, it’s important to understand a few basics. Each game is played with 8 decks comprising 52 cards each. Aces are worth 1, and cards 2-9 are worth their nominal value. 10 value cards including 10, Jack, Queen, and King are worth 0. In Baccarat games, the suit of your cards doesn’t matter – hearts, spades, clubs, or diamonds – it’s the numerical value that counts. To get started, simply place your bets, and choose your betting option. The Bet Limits determine the minimum/maximum bets per table. If you don’t meet the permissible bet limits, you will be notified instantly. For example, if bets are less than the minimum requirement, or more than the maximum, they will be rejected. Next, the dealer will deal cards to The Player, and The Banker.

Remember, the objective of the game is to reach as close to 9 as possible. Unlike Live Blackjack, you can never bust in Baccarat. If your gut is telling you that a Tie will take place, you’re welcome to place a Tie Bet. In Baccarat games, 2 hands are dealt – one to The Player and one to The Banker. The player always begins the betting. If both the player hand and The Banker hand are equal in value, the Tie Bet will win. In that case, bets on The Player and The Banker are returned. Calculating hand values is easy. You simply add the value of the cards and any number over 9 automatically has the tens digit removed. For example, 7+ King + 5 = 2. However, if you’re dealt a 2-card hand that is worth 8, or 9, this is considered a Natural in Baccarat and no further cards will be dealt to either hand. When the hand value is worth less than 7 for The Player or the Banker, the Third Card Draw will be consulted. This will determine whether cards are dealt to either of these hands.  

Determining 2-Card Hand Values and Rules

• When the initial 2-card hand is valued at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, The Player will draw a third card.
• When the Player’s first 2 cards total 6 or 7, the Player stands. If the Banker’s hand totals 3, 4, 5, the Banker must draw.
• When the Player’s 2-card hand total is 8, or 9 – known as a Natural – no third card will be dealt.
• The winner in a game of live Baccarat is the hand that is closest to 9.
