Challenge the live dealer to assemble a hand of 9 with this classy casino classic. Check out the Live Baccarat rules and buttons below to enjoy this stylish favourite now!

Live Baccarat Rules

The aim of this elegant title is to assemble a hand with a value as close to 9 as possible.

Aces are valued at 1 with cards 2 to 9 retaining their face value. 10s and picture cards are worth 0. If hand totals 10 or more, 10 is subtracted from the total to create the Live Baccarat point value. E.g.: 7+8=15=5 and 3+7=10=0

Baccarat asks you to bet on whether the player, banker or both will win the hand. Once bets have been confirmed, the banker and player are dealt two cards each. The cards are dealt straight from a shoe holding 6 decks of playing cards. Certain cases may require a third card to be dealt in accordance with Third Card Rules (see below). The player with a hand closest to 9 wins.

Live Baccarat Winnings

• If you place your bet on the player and he wins, you receive a 2 for 1 payout.
• If you place your bet on the banker and he wins, you receive a 2 for 1 payout minus a bank commission of 5%.
• If the player and banker assemble equal hands, a tie is called. Bets placed on ‘tie’ will receive a 9 for 1 payout. Non-tie bets are returned in the event of a tie.

Third Card Rules

The following outlines the circumstances under which the player and/or banker is dealt a third card:

Player
Baccarat Point Value of Initial Two Cards:
0 – 1 – 2 - 3 – 4 – 5	Draws additional card
6 – 7	Stands
8 – 9	“Natural hand” – no additional draw required

If the player stands, the banker hits on a total value of 5 or below. If the player hits, the following shows whether the banker hits or stands.

Banker
Baccarat Point Value of Initial Two Cards:	Draws when player’s third card is:	Stands when the player’s third card is:
0 – 1 – 2	Always draws additional card
3	0 – 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 9	8
4	2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7	0 – 1 – 8 – 9
5	4 – 5 – 6 – 7	0 – 1 – 2 – 3 – 8 – 9
6	6 – 7	0 – 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 8 – 9
7	Always stands
8 – 9	Player unable to draw	Player unable to draw

Note that if either the player or Banker has a total worth 8 or 9, they are both required to stand. This Rule takes priority over all others.
