Enter the world of Baccarat online

Baccarat is an intriguing casino game that first appeared in Italy in the 1400s. The game gets its name from the Italian term for zero, Baccara. It is named after zero since all 10s in the game have zero points. Back in the day, this game was reserved for the elites of society and was played with four dealers. Today, this exciting game is available at Royal Panda Casino in a variety of formats and variants, including both as a virtual and live dealer Baccarat game. Throughout the ages, this game was influenced by numerous cultures, including French and Asian. As a result, you can find several games which, although not called Baccarat, are played in very much the same way.Unlike other popular card games, in this game, you’re neither the Baccarat player nor the banker. Instead, you can bet on either side to win or for both of them to tie. Due to the rules of the game, the house edge is normally just 1.09%, one of the lowest among all table games.

No matter whether you’re playing RNG or live dealer Baccarat, the rules of the game are almost always the same. The object of the game is to bet on the hand that will beat the other by having the highest number of points. Before the game begins, you can bet on the player, the banker, or a tie. You can also find games with optional side bets as we explain in our detailed how to play Baccarat guide.Once betting time is over, the dealer or computer will deal the cards, and the hand with the highest number of points wins. All picture cards and tens provide no points whatsoever. Other number cards retain their face value. The Ace has a value of one.The points in each hand are added up, but if they turn into two-digit values, then only the second digit counts. This means that having two 6s will result in 2 points. If both hands have the same number of points, neither hand wins, and any tie bets are paid out.

In certain specific situations, either one or both hands may be dealt an additional card. Should the player’s hand, for example, have a maximum value of 5 points, then an additional card will be dealt. If the player’s hand is not provided a third card, the banker’s hand may only get a third card if its value is 5 points or less. This rule does not apply if either hand has a total value of either 8 or 9 points. Should the player’s hand be eligible for a third Baccarat card, the banker’s hand will also be dealt another card in certain situations. If the banker’s hand has a value of 3 points or less, a card is dealt. Similarly, should the banker’s hand have a value of 5 points, this hand will be dealt an additional card. This rule applies as long as the player’s third Baccarat card does not have a value of between 4 and 7. This is also the case if the banker’s hand value is 4 points and the player’s third card is neither a 0 or 1 nor an 8 or 9.The only other times when a banker’s hand is dealt a third Baccarat card is when it has a value of 6 points or 7 points. As long as the player’s third card doesn’t have a value of either 6 or 7 points, then a third card is dealt to the banker. With a hand value of 7 points or more, no third card is dealt to the banker.

Just like Blackjack, Roulette, and other popular table games, you’ll be able to find a variety of Baccarat variants at Royal Panda Casino. Baccarat variations are based on the classic game. Still, each one brings a special twist, for example more dynamic gameplay, more advantageous odd or side bets offered to the players.Super Andar Bahar Live by Evolution Gaming is an Indian version of Baccarat that replaces the player and the banker with inside (Andar) or outside (Bahar) bets. Instead of winning with points, the dealer deals a random card, and the first pile to have an identical card dealt to it is the winner. What makes this version super is the addition of multipliers that can reward you with up to 4,000x your stake.Live Lightning Baccarat is another live dealer Baccarat game provided by Evolution Gaming that offers random multipliers to so-called Lightning Cards. These multipliers can reach values equal to 8x your stake, and if they appear in the hand that you are backing and it wins, you’ll receive the combined prize.

Whilst both virtual and live dealer Baccarat are games of chance, having a refined strategy in place can help you improve your overall performance. One of the first recommendations to keep in mind is that even though the tie bet pays up to 9:1, it is the least likely outcome of the game, and only wins 9.6% of the time. It is, therefore, better to ignore it and focus on the other two betting options.If you’re a new Baccarat player, it’s best to start by betting on the banker. This position has the highest winning edge, but you also need to keep in mind that these bets are subject to a commission. Even though there is this cost, it’s well worth it, given the statistical losses when betting on the player. Some variants, such as No Commission Baccarat, remove this fee.The player is the only bet option left if you agree not to bet on a tie and don’t wish to bet on the banker for whatever reason. This position has slightly lower odds than the banker but does not come with any commission.

At Royal Panda Casino, we’ve partnered with several game providers to offer you an extensive choice of live Baccarat online games with a Chinese theme. Just like the rest of our live casino collection, these games are hosted by professional dealers and broadcast live in real-time from professionally-designed studios.One of the more popular live games is Fan Tan Live by Evolution Gaming. Based on a Chinese game, this live dealer variant does not use cards. Instead, the dealer chooses a random number of white ceramic beads from a glass dome using the metal cup. The selection stick is used to separate the beads into groups of four until a line of up to four beads remains.Dragon Tiger Live is another live game that is very similar to Baccarat online. In this game, one card is dealt to the dragon and one to the tiger. The winner is the one whose card has the highest value. In this version, face cards have a value, and Kings have the highest value. Aces have the lowest value among all cards.
