Play Baccarat Online

The rules of online baccarat are easy to understand, but the best part is that there is actually very little you need to do besides betting on the hand you think will win. 

You may be wondering how hands are scored when you play casino baccarat. Let’s take a quick look:

• The hands are scored by adding the values of the cards together.

• If the score is higher than 10, the 10-unit is ignored.

• This means that 2 cards that add up to 15 will produce a score of 5.

• Aces are worth 1, while numeric cards are worth their face value.

• Jacks, Queens and Kings are worth 0.

• A hand needs a score of 9, or a score close as possible, to win.

• A low initial score can be improved, but is determined by specific rules, and not by a decision of the baccarat dealer or the player.

Any table game, such as blackjack, requires a strategy, and online baccarat is no different. Here are some popular strategies to try when you play casino baccarat, however, please note that these do not guarantee any wins.

• 1-3-2-4: The bet is increased after a win and resets to the original bet after a loss, following the sequence as per the name.

• 1-3-2-6: Similar to the previous system, but with a higher progression.

• d’Alembert: The bet is increased after a loss and decreases it after a win by one unit.

• Fibonacci: The next bet is the sum of the previous two bets.

• Labouchere: This involves creating a sequence of numbers and betting the sum of the first and last numbers in the sequence, crossing them off if the bet wins, and adding the amount to the end of the sequence if it loses.

• Martingale: A bet is doubled after each loss, aiming to recover previous losses and make a profit.

• One Sided: A variation of the previous system, where the bet is only increased after a loss, without decreasing it after a win.

• Paroli: The bet is doubled after a win.

Online baccarat offers such intense online gambling because moves made by the player and the banker are predetermined.

• If the player scores 5 or less, they must hit.

• If the players scores between 6 and 9, they must stay.

• A winning player bet pays 1:1.

• A winning banker bet pays 1:1, less 5% commission.

• A winning tie bet pays 8:1.
