What is Online Baccarat?
Baccarat might sound new to you, but it dates to the 19th century. It is a card game typically played in physical casinos, but it has been taking over online casinos in the UK lately. The objective of online baccarat is for either the “player” or “banker” to have a hand value of nine or as close to nine as possible in order to win. Gamblers place their bets on whichever hand they think will win or if there will be a tie.
How to play Online Baccarat?
Baccarat is pretty easy to get your head around. It is a card game which begins with all players bet on one of two hands: the player's or the banker's hand. After bets are placed, two cards are dealt to the player position and the banker position at the table. Once the totals are tallied, the hand with the total value nearest to nine points wins. This means that any game of online baccarat can have one of three possible outcomes:
- Banker wins – The payout is 1:1
- Player wins – The payout is 1:1
- Tie – The payout is 8:1
But how are points calculated? In online baccarat, all tens and face cards (a jack, queen, or king) have zero value. All of the other cards are worth their numerical value. The combined value of both cards is what the hand is worth. So if the player or banker receives a two and a five, the hand is worth seven points. If the player or banker’s hand's total value is zero to five points, they will receive a third card. However, if either of the hands adds up to 10 or more points, the first digit in the total is dropped. For example, a hand that adds up to 11 points is worth one point, a hand that adds up to 14 is worth four points, and a hand that adds up to 18 points is worth eight points.
There are two important rules about the points that need to be remembered. Firstly, if either the banker or the player receives an eight or a nine with their first two cards, a natural win is declared, and bets are paid out, ending the game immediately. Secondly, if a tie occurs, all wagers are returned.
It’s this simplicity, compared to many other casino games, that keeps players coming back for more. If you want to know more about online baccarat, be sure to take a look at our complete guide, which will unpack everything you need to know about the game.
