Baccarat online: everything you need to know

The baccarat table can accommodate up to 14 players: these will only have to bet and not actually play cards. Let's explain better:

• The dealer, or dealer, uses up to six decks of Cards. Players place themselves on the sides of the dealer in positions called Tableau o
• The dealer plays in turn with each of the positions-the selected player is called a pointer.
• To win you have to approach or reach 9. If the value is equal to or greater than 10, 10 is subtracted from the sum of the cards.
• Actions are predetermined. The dealer does not draw if the value of his cards is 7; draws if he has 6 and the player has 6 or 7; if the dealer has 5 he must draw if the player has accumulated a value from 4 to 7; if he has 4, the dealer must draw if the player has accumulated a value from 2 to 7; if the dealer has 3, he must draw if the player has drawn a card other than 8; the dealer always draws if he takes a card with a value of 0, 1 or 2.
• As soon as the dealer or player exceeds 9 - and therefore lose - it moves on to the next player.

In addition to the rules explained above, it should be emphasized that if one between the player and the dealer immediately gets a value of 8 or 9 the cards must be face up, and whoever gets closer to 9 or reaches it wins the hand. The first one whose game actions are evaluated is the player, who if he has 6 or 7 cannot draw any more cards and must pass the hand to the dealer.

A tie may also occur, and in this case the pointer resumes its bet.

The pointer therefore has three main bets available:

• Counter;
• Player;
• Equalize.

Other bets in baccarat

The player can bet on side combinations of the game of baccarat online - which may vary depending on the casino:

• 

  PLA pair

  The two cards dealt to the player are a pair.

• 

  Banker pair

  The dealer's first two cards are a pair.

• 

  Perfect pair

  The first two cards of the player or the dealer are a perfect pair.

• 

  Either pair

  Either the player or the dealer has a pair on the first two cards.
• 

  Panda 8

  The dealer reaches 8 with the sum of the first 3 cards.

• 

  Lucky

  The dealer, the player or both reach 8 with the first 3 cards.

At baccarat casinos there are bonuses for players who bet real money - they do not apply when you play Free Online baccarat.

Bonuses change depending on the casino: there are bonuses with and without Deposit, welcome bonuses at registration and special promotions - especially when the casino has a loyalty program.

Bonuses can usually be used on all casino games, including the live casino. But obviously for the game baccarat you can not use free Spins, which are dedicated to slot machines.

Baccarat is a game of chance, and therefore one must always take into account the odds. In fact, it is not guaranteed that your bets will have the desired effect and will result in winnings.

What is referred to as the “house edge” is precisely the probability of the casino winning - in this case, the probability that the dealer wins.

It's about statistical matters: depending on the type of game, the number of decks used - in the case of card games, there will be different odds of winning for you and the House.

In the case of online baccarat casinos the odds will be different for both the main and side bets.

Baccarat 6 decks

1 deck Baccarat

Baccarat is a game in which probability plays a crucial role, and although no one can know in advance what the outcome of a play will be, there are strategies that can help you increase your chances of winning.

Such strategies not only take into account the possibility, but above all the management of your gaming funds.

You can play different types of baccarat at online casinos.

Usually these are variations in the number of decks used or in the positions of the players, but let's see the most common.

• 

  Gran Baccarat

  This is the most traditional version of baccarat:

  • Players go up to 14-usually it's 12 or 14, you skip 13 because it's considered an unlucky number;
  • The rules of the game are no different from those listed.
• 

  Mini Baccarat

  In baccarat casinos, this version is also usually played, which, as the name implies, has a smaller table:

  • This version is much more frequent online than in land based casinos;
  • Up to 7 players can play.

  The Basic Rules, however, remain the same.

• 

  Baccarat with Live Dealers

  It is a baccarat offered by casinos that own a live Section:

  • You can't choose baccarat free : it happens that casino games are offered in demo mode, but not in the live casino;
  • It is necessary to choose one of the offered variants;
  • The player will play with a dealer via streaming.
• 

  Chemin de Fer

  This version, played especially in France, has some very special features:

  • The role of the dealer is not covered by the casino but by the players, who take turns changing roles;
  • 6 decks of French Cards are required;
  • The dealer is initially drawn. If, later, more than one player asked for the dealer, precedence would be given to the player to the right of the dealer.
