Some tips regarding playing Baccarat at an online casino

The availability of online casinos has provided many of us with the opportunity to play some traditional casino games which are not offered by our land based casinos in Ireland. That is one reason why here at onlinecasino.ie we have dedicated a lot of space on this site to detailing the rules of most of the casino games we are likely to come across at an online casino. A typical example of a casino game which most of us have never had the chance to play is Baccarat, and whilst knowing the rules of Baccarat is not necessary in order to play the game online there are some tips which may improve your chances of winning. Baccarat is one of those casino games which has for some reason established itself with a reputation for being both difficult to play and a game for high rollers only. Nothing could be further from the truth, particularly when playing Baccarat at an online casino. All a player has to do is choose which of two hands will win, the dealer’s hand or the player’s hand. The whole game is controlled by the dealer according to the rules of Baccarat, so we do not need to know them. There are three possible outcomes of each hand of Baccarat, the dealer’s hand wins, the player’s hand wins or there is a tie. The first tip is to forget what happened in the previous hand as it is totally irrelevant. Next is to check how many decks are in use because it does marginally affect the odds, and then take account of the house edge. In common with all casino games the dealer’s hand in Baccarat has the edge, but there is also a small house edge to contend with even if you back the dealer’s hand every time. The final tip is to ignore the apparently generous odds offered on a tied hand. This outcome is very rare and most experienced Baccarat players would never dream of backing a tied hand. Playing Baccarat at an online casino is easy, but remember it is simply a matter of luck which hand wins, because there is no winning formula.
