We offer eight deck Live Baccarat with a live dealer and a real Baccarat table, with up to 7 players at the same table. The deck is shuffled when there is about two decks left in the shoe. We use standard Baccarat rules.
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 is probably 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 a limited amount of time from the moment a round is started 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.
· Before the start of each round, one card will be drawn from the deck face down and “burned” (discarded).
Tip:
You have the option to give a tip to the dealer. To give a tip, place chips on the “Tip” stack (same as placing a bet), and click Confirm. Click Cancel to close the tip stack.
Game window:
The top half of the game window contains three panels.
In the center is the video feed of the dealer. Click on the button in the top right corner of the panel to maximize the video feed – it will take up the entire game window. Click the same button to minimize it again. Click the button in the bottom right corner to change the video bitrate. The higher bitrate provides a better picture, but takes up more bandwidth.
On the right is the chat panel. You can see the name of the table and the dealer at the top of the panel. Enter your message into the text field at the bottom of the panel and click Send. Your message will appear along with others in the middle of the panel.
On the left is the game information panel. At the top of the panel you can see your bet and win amounts for the last round in which you played. The Information tab shows the current server time and the game round’s unique ID number, plus the minimum and maximum total bet amounts.
Changing seats:
When you join a live game table, you are automatically assigned a seat. If you want to change to a different seat (and it is free), wait for the end of a round. Then, click the Change seat button . The bet areas of free seats will be highlighted. Click on a bet area to take that seat.
Scoreboard
Below the table are two Baccarat scoreboards. These show the outcome of the recent game rounds.
- Red circle – the banker won that round.
- Blue circle – the player won that round.
- Green slash – the round ended in a tie.
Straight scoreboard
This allows you to see streaks for either the player or the banker. Wins of the same side, and ties, are shown in one column. Whenever the other side wins, a new column is started. (Ties do not break a column because non-tie bets are returned to the player in the event of a tie. Thus, if a tie occurs, you do not lose any money.)
You can use the following buttons to change the scorecard you are viewing:
- Last – see the scores for the last shoe.
- Last-1 – see the scores for one shoe before the last one.
- Current – see the scores for the current shoe.
- Expand/Collapse – display or hide the scorecard.
Full scoreboard
This shows you the results of the rounds sequentially. The top left cell is the earliest result, the one below it is the next earliest, and so on. When the bottom cell is reached, the next round is recorded in the top cell of the next column.
- In addition to the markings described above, the full scoreboard shows you the winning hand’s point total.
- A red dot in the top left corner of a cell means the banker had a pair. A blue dot in the bottom right corner of a cell means the player had a pair.
