About Baccarat
The BetSoft is a well-established, vibrant and innovative gaming software development company which offers a wide portfolio of e-casino games. Baccarat is just one of their offerings, and is a game in the public domain. We find it at both online and land-based casinos, and Baccarat is in fact one of the favourites with high rolling players, especially in land-based casinos. These casinos often offer special high-stakes rooms for the game where mind-blowing bets can be place. It is also the most popular game played by Chinese visitors to Macau.
Baccarat is an extremely simple casino card game to play, and is a competition between the dealer or house, and the player. This table has a limit of a minimum of 1.00, and a maximum wager of 100.00. Chip denominations are 1.00, 5.00, 25.00, and 100.00. It is two card Baccarat, and although three card versions are available, it is the two card version that is the classic form of the game.
How to Play
The aim of this game is to place one of three wagers on whether the dealer, the player or a tie will be the outcome of a dealt hand. Players may wager on their own hand, the bankers hand or a tie, or even all three if they choose. When cards are dealt, the hand that is closest to the point score of 9 is the winning hand. In the case where hands are matched but no tie is called, this is a push, and a third card may be dealt to determine a winner.
Each card contains a point value for example, an Ace is counted as 1 point, 10 numbered cards carry zero points, as do face cards. Thereafter, each number card carries its own value. Should a hand of 9 + 8 be dealt, the points total is 17 of which 10 points = 0, and therefore the score is 7.
The game starts with the player placing a chip of whatever value in the demarcated wager area of the table. They then click on the “Deal” button, which sees two face up cards being dealt to both the player and the dealer. A croupiers’ voice calls out which player has won after calculating the point values of the cards, and playing Baccarat is just as simple as that. Repeat the bet by clicking the repeat button, or clear, and place a different chip value or different wager, then simply deal again.
