• Live baccarat is a popular casino card game where players place bets on one of three outcomes. The dealer then deals two cards to the player and the banker, and the hand closest to 9 wins.

The rules of a live baccarat game online remain consistent across most tables and variants.

• In live dealer baccarat games, there are two hands: the player and the banker.


• Bets can be placed on either hand to win, or a tie bet can be placed.


• The winning hand is the one with the score closest to 9 points.


• In online baccarat live dealer games, cards 2 through 9 have their face value, Aces are worth 1 point, and 10s and royal cards are worth 0.


• If a hand's score is greater than 9, the 10-unit is ignored, so a score of 13 is read as 3.


• After the betting closes, the dealer deals two cards to each hand.


• Players cannot make decisions on moves when playing live baccarat; the dealer plays out moves based on initial scores and game rules.


• After playing out any moves, the dealer reveals the results.

While outcomes in live baccarat are based on chance, some players use structured approaches to guide betting decisions when they play live baccarat online. As with many of our online casino games, there are certain strategies and tips you can apply when you play baccarat online live.

• When playing live dealer baccarat, strategy cannot influence the outcomes, but you can use tips to improve your game.


• The banker bet has better winning chances than the player and tie bets, with the player bet having the next-best odds of winning.


• Use previous game results to inform your betting decisions, accessing the Big, Big Eye, Small, Cockroach, and Bead roads for pictorial representations of game outcomes.


• Budget your bankroll to manage your spending in each session and limit the time spent when you play baccarat online live.

Live baccarat payouts are based on the type of bet placed and standard probability models.

• Standard bets in live baccarat are based on the 8 decks of cards in the shoe on the table.


• Betting on the banker offers a 45.86% chance of winning, a 1.06% house edge, and a 0.95:1 payout (with a 5% commission).


• The player bet has a 44.62% chance of winning and a 1.24% house edge, with a 1:1 payout.


• The tie bet has steep odds of winning at 9.52% and a high house edge at 14.36%, but it pays 8:1 if the hands tie.


• The banker bet offers the best odds, making it a favourable choice during live baccarat online play.
