Baccarat gives you just three choices

Every so often we like to profile some of the lesser known casino games now available at many of the major online casinos. One of these casino games is Baccarat, probably best known as a casino game featured in the James Bond films, but also one of the oldest casino games dating back many many years. Baccarat is surprisingly easy to play, and although the rules are fairly complex it is not necessary for the player to know the rules when playing Baccarat at an online casino. If you do want to know the rules we have described them on our casino games pages, but the game of Baccarat when played online does not require the gambler to get involved in how the hands are played, this is done automatically according to the rules and both hands are controlled by the dealer. All the online baccarat gambler has to do is to bet on whether the dealer will win, or the player, or whether the hands will be tied. There is only one player and the dealer, so there are only two hands on the table and therefore just the three possible results. As in blackjack, the dealer’s hand is played last and therefore has a slight edge, which is why a bet on the dealer winning usually pays 5% less than even money, whereas a winning bet on the player pays even money without the discount. The pay out on a tie depends on which online casino you are playing with, but is normally 8/1 or 9/1. Baccarat has often been considered to be a casino game played for very high stakes, and certainly this was often true in land based casinos, but Baccarat can now be   played at an online casino for as little as one euro and is therefore well within the reach of most online casino games players. If you’re looking for a fast casino game online, requiring no skill and with just three possible bets, Baccarat could be just the casino game for you. Why not give it a try.
