Live Baccarat
Searching for somewhere to play live baccarat online? Then look no further because 666 Casino has a fantastic range of live baccarat games.
Baccarat is a comparison game where you bet on the hand you think will end up closer to 9 without going over. Online baccarat uses a Random Number Generator (RNG) to produce random outcomes; it’s a convenient option instead of going to a physical casino.
But what if you could have this convenience in addition to the engaging experience of a brick-and-mortar casino? Well, live baccarat games provide just that.
And you can find a host of incredible live dealer baccarat games here at 666 Casino. Create an account or log in and place a deposit to start playing.
How To Play Live Baccarat
Those looking to play live baccarat may be wondering how it works. So we’re going to go through how to play live baccarat, just in case.
Thankfully, it doesn’t play out too dissimilarly to standard baccarat in a casino or online baccarat. Live baccarat games use real dealers operating the games in front of a camera, and the footage is then live-streamed to online casinos where players can log in and participate.
It also allows players to communicate with each other and the dealer in real-time via a chat box.
So, in order to play live baccarat, you can head to 666 Casino to find the best online live baccarat selection. Create an account or log in if you already have one. Make sure there are funds in your account so that you can play. Find a live dealer baccarat game to your liking and load it up.
It’s likely you will join mid-session, so you may have to wait until the next round of betting begins. The dealer will be hosting the game as they would in a real casino, with you watching it live. A display will appear on the screen that allows you to place your bet plus any side bets. The dealer can see players’ decisions and respond appropriately.
That’s all there is to it. It’s like playing baccarat in person, except you have to use a virtual display instead of physically placing chips.
Live Dealer Baccarat Rules
Before playing live dealer baccarat, or any form of baccarat for that matter, it may be a good idea to go over the baccarat rules so you know what to expect rather than going in blind.
Baccarat is similar to blackjack in that it is a comparison card game where the hand that wins is the one closest to a specific value without going over. In baccarat, it is the hand that is closest to 9 that wins.
However, in baccarat, you can bet on either of the two hands to win. One hand is called the Player, and the other is labelled the Banker. Please note that these are just the terms to differentiate between them; you are not the Player, and the dealer is not the Banker.
Before any cards are dealt, you place your bet on if you think the Player hand will win, the Banker hand will win or if it will be a tie.
Two cards are then dealt to each hand and compared. All cards are worth their face value except for 10, jack, queen and king, which are all worth 0 (zero). An ace is worth 1.
In baccarat, any value that reaches double digits uses only its last digit as the value. For example, a hand that totals 14 is actually worth 4, and one worth 18 is actually 8.
A third card may be dealt to the hands according to a pre-determined set of rules. However, the dealer will enact this, so you don’t need to do anything. You can find these rules online or in the game’s rules/settings.
So, in live dealer baccarat, you bet on the hand you think will win, the live dealers will draw cards and deal any further ones if required, and then the totals will be compared, and the one closest to 9 wins. If you correctly guessed the outcome, you win a payout.
Please note that the casino takes a 5% commission on any winning Banker bet due to the house edge and the slight advantage the Banker hand has.
