In-depth analysis of live baccarat gameplay

Baccarat is a popular casino game that can be found in casinos all over the world, especially in Asia where it is warmly welcomed by players. In traditional casinos, baccarat usually involves a live dealer who deals the cards and hosts the game. With the advancement of technology, live baccarat has also landed in Jiliko Casino, providing players with a more realistic and convenient gaming experience.

The Origin of Baccarat

The history of Baccarat can be traced back to Italy, and was later introduced to France, where it was loved by the nobles, and then gradually spread to the world. Although Baccarat has simple rules, its elegant atmosphere and fast pace make it a favorite among many casino players.

basic rules

The gameplay of live baccarat is the same as that of electronic baccarat. Both the cards of the “banker” and the “player” are compared. The final decision is which side’s card is closest to 9 points. The game usually uses 6 to 8 decks of cards, each with 52 cards, excluding the trump card.

Scoring method

• Ace counts as 1 point.
• Number cards from 2 to 9 are calculated based on the points shown on the card.
• 10. J, Q, and K count as 0 points.

If the total number of card points exceeds 9, only single-digit points will be calculated. For example, in a hand of 7 and 5 cards, the total is 12, then the point value of the hand is 2.

Betting options

Players can choose to bet on the following three options:

• Banker: If the banker wins, a 5% commission is usually deducted.
• Player: If you bet on the Player and win, the odds are usually 1:1.
• Tie: If the banker and player have the same card points, the odds of betting on a tie are usually higher, about 8:1 or 9:1.

In addition, there are other side bets, such as pairs, etc., but these bets usually have a large house advantage and are not recommended for players who pursue long-term gains.

Game flow

1. Betting stage: Players choose to bet on “Banker”, “Player” or “Tie” before the game starts.

2. Card dealing stage: The dealer first deals two cards to the player, and then two cards to the banker. All cards are face up.

3. Decide whether to draw a card: According to the drawing rules of baccarat, the player or banker may need to draw a third card.

4. Settlement stage: Compare the points of the banker and player, and the side with higher points wins.

outs rules

The rules of replenishing cards are at the core of baccarat. Players do not need to remember these rules because in live baccarat games, the dealer is responsible for replenishing cards, but knowing these rules can help players better understand the progress of the game.

• Player’s card replenishment rules: If the sum of the player’s first two cards is 0 to 5, the third card needs to be replenished. If the total is 6 or 7, stand (no draw).
• The rules of the dealer’s replenishing cards: If the player stands, the banker’s total points are 0 to 5, and the dealer’s total points are 6 or 7. If the player draws a third card, whether the banker draws a third card is determined according to a series of complex rules.

Strategy

While baccarat is largely a game of chance, the following strategies can help players improve their odds:

1. Avoid betting on ties: Although ties have higher odds, ties occur less frequently, making this a disadvantageous betting option for players in the long run.

2. Usually bet on the banker: Due to the arrangement of the rules, the banker has a small mathematical advantage.

3. Properly manage funds: Set winning and losing limits and strictly abide by them to avoid huge financial losses.

4. Watch out for commissions: Commissions are charged when winning banker bets, so pay attention to the casino’s commission ratio.
