Casino baccarat live
You’ll love playing live baccarat online at Circus. Formerly hugely popular at Victorian house parties, it’s now always available for you, in the 21st century, in our live online baccarat casino! It’s one of our most popular games, and there are lots of reasons for that. It’s often associated with high stakes gambling, luxury, and glamour (think James Bond in Casino Royale!) and you can have all that from the comfort of your own home when you play live baccarat online via video stream today at Circus!
How do you play baccarat?
Not sure how to play? Don’t worry, because Circus is always here to help. The game has a simple set of rules, which makes it easy for you to learn, but there is an element of chance that keeps it constantly exciting. Start by choosing a live baccarat game online (we use games produced by Evolution and On Air Entertainment; more on them later!), and get ready for the thrill of betting and hopefully the joy of winning!
Baccarat is typically played with multiple decks of cards (usually 6 or 8 decks). The object of baccarat in a live casino is to bet on which hand will have a total closest to 9 — either the ‘player's hand’ or the ‘banker's hand.’ There’s also a third option, which is betting on a tie between the two hands. Sound tricky? Don’t fret; just pop into our frequently asked questions section where you can always get some help.
Each hand – Player’s and Banker’s - gets two cards, face-up. The live dealer handles the cards, and you bet on the outcome of the round. So, place your bet; click on the designated area on the betting table (either Player, Banker, or Tie) and choose the amount you want to wager.
Online live baccarat is a straightforward and fast-paced game that offers you the thrill of high-stakes gambling, but it’s also accessible if you’re less experienced because of its simple rules and minimal decisions that you need to make!
Card values in baccarat
Now this bit is interesting, but easy to learn again!
Like we said, the object is to bet on the hand which will have a value as close to 9 as possible. Card values are as follows:
- Aces are worth 1 point
- 2-9 are worth their face value
- 10, Jack, Queen, King are worth 0 points
- The total value of a hand is calculated by adding the points of each card and then taking the last digit of the total. For example, if you have a 7 and a 5, the total is 12, but you drop the tens digit, so the hand value is 2.
Tips for playing baccarat
These are your betting options:
- Player Bet: Betting on the Player’s hand to win
- Banker Bet: Betting on the Banker’s hand to win. (This bet is the most favorable for the player in terms of odds, even though it often comes with a 5% commission on winnings.)
- Tie Bet: Betting that both hands will have the same value
And your payout potential:
- Player bet: Pays 1:1 (even money)
- Banker bet: Pays 1:1, but the casino takes a 5% commission on winnings
- Tie bet: Pays 8:1 or 9:1, depending on the casino (though the odds are not in your favor with this bet)
Remember, it’s actually pretty easy to learn baccarat and playing a baccarat game online is always a huge rush!
