There are some casino games which have somehow established an undeserved reputation for being either very difficult to learn or a game for high rollers only. Even those of us who did play casino games at a real casino probably thought that Baccarat was beyond our means. This opinion was partly fuelled by a lack of opportunity to play the game in Irish casinos, and probably more so by the fact that even in casinos in the south of France Baccarat appeared to be played in rooms away from the main floor of the casino, and of course there was that James Bond film. Fortunately the online casinos have started to debunk some of the myths surrounding casino games such as Baccarat, not only by offering us the chance to play Baccarat for very low stakes but also by showing us just how easy it is to play. There is no doubt that the rules of Baccarat are somewhat complicated, as those of you who are interested can see on our casino games pages, but playing Baccarat at an online casino does not require us to know the rules because the whole game is controlled by the dealer. Baccarat is played one on one against the dealer, and the player simply has to bet on which of the two hands will win. There are only three possible outcomes in Baccarat, either the dealer’s hand will win, or the player’s hand, or there may occasionally be a tie. Generally speaking, if you are playing Baccarat at an online casino a successful bet on the player’s hand to win will pay even money. A win on the dealer’s hand is normally evens less a 5% discount, because there is a small house edge, and a tie may well return as much as 8/1 or even 9/1. As you can see Baccarat is not only a very easy casino game to play at an online casino, it is also well within most people’s budget and certainly not a game exclusively for high rollers. Why not give it a try.
