Live Baccarat

Live baccarat has increased in popularity. It is a game that is ideally suited to the live dealer paradigm and many online casinos now offer some form of the game. There are many varieties available to choose from.

All the software varieties offer the typical Player, Banker and Ties bets, but there are many small variations depending on which software the casino uses. The visual presentation also varies, with different console features, treatment of the video stream (and video quality) as well as the overall feel of the live environment (there are a host of side bet options depending on the casino and platform you choose to play at).

Betting limits also vary, with some live casinos catering for recreational players and others for the high roller. Some baccarat games will allow in running bets on each card being dealt, a side bet on whether a pair will be dealt and a progressive jackpot (Playtech casinos listed below).

So even though it is one of the simplest games to play, the representation of the game can vary quite a bit among the casino software developers listed below.

How Live Baccarat Works

Live baccarat combines the best of the online game and the land-based game. On your computer screen you will see a virtual baccarat table where bets can be placed and a chat box where you are able to chat with the dealer and the other players at the table. In the center of the table will be the live baccarat dealer. The live dealer will be playing the game from a special land-based studio set up by the casino especially for their live casino games. You will need to place your bet on the virtual table and once all players at the table have placed their bets, the dealer will deal the cards. The dealer�s action will be captured via webcam technology and will be brought to you by live video stream. You will watch the dealer�s actions in real time.

Why to Choose Live Baccarat

The first online dealer casino software was developed by Playtech in 2003. Up until then no-one could have imagined being able to play baccarat online with a live dealer. If you are skeptical of the RNG at online casinos or you prefer the personal aspect of live dealer games, live baccarat is just for you. You can find a range of different baccarat variations when you play live dealer games, as well as a range of table limits. Games are commonly available 24/7 via live dealer casinos. Simply choose the live baccarat game you want to play and make sure you are familiar with the rules before you start. You can then enjoy the best of both online and live baccarat games.
