Tips for playing Baccarat

In our “Casino Game Rules” section we explain the rules of Baccarat and how it is played, now we would like to give you some tips about how to maximise your chances of winning.

First up remember that this is a game of chance; do not waste your time tracking previous hands whether you are playing in an actual casino or online using an RNG (Random Number Generator). What has happened in previous hands has no bearing on what happens in future hands. Do take time to look at how many decks are being used in the game, even in online games it usually says somewhere. A one deck game gives the best mathematical chance for the banker and the lowest house edge making your choice easier. So what strategy should you use? Technically the answer is always bet on the banker but that would not make for a very exciting gaming experience and of course the house always has an edge, however small, and will eventually win. The answer then is trust your luck. It is a very simple game and it is the low house edge that makes high rollers want to play it; if you are lucky you win.

Finally let us mention the “tie” bet. The payout is undoubtedly higher but so is the house edge so the advice is steer clear of it.
