The introduction of online casinos did not just create a whole new group of casino games enthusiasts, it also provided experienced casino games players with opportunities to play some traditional casino games which were not available in our real casinos here in Ireland. For most of us for instance the casino game of Baccarat was a game which apparently was only played by high rollers in the casinos of Monte Carlo, and certainly not for the likes of us. Even those of us who were lucky enough to have visited a casino where Baccarat was played would probably have steered clear of trying it in the belief that it was complicated and difficult to learn. Since Baccarat became available at a number of online casinos however, it is now clear that nothing could be further from the truth. Yes the rules of Baccarat are a little complicated but Baccarat players do not actually need to know the rules of this casino game to play because it is a casino game which is totally controlled by the dealer. In fact the casino game of Baccarat, particularly when played at an online casino is probably one of the easiest games of all. In Baccarat there are just two hands dealt, the player’s hand and the dealer’s hand. All we have to do is decide which of these two hands will win. Both hands are controlled by the dealer according to the rules of Baccarat, which for the sake of those who are interested we have included on our casino games pages, and there are only three possible outcomes. If you choose to bet on the player’s hand and it wins, the pay-out is usually even money, but a winning bet on the dealer’s hand often pays out even money less 5% because the dealer’s hand does have a slight edge. The third possible outcome is a tied hand, which although the winnings can be as high as 8 or 9/1 is very rare and experienced Baccarat players will rarely if ever bet on a tied hand. In spite of its reputation Baccarat is a very simple online casino game so why not give it a go.
