How to Play Live Dealer Baccarat

Baccarat live casino games let you enjoy the excitement of real-life gambling through your mobile phone or PC. We feature some of the best live baccarat games in the world here at Boom Casino. Minimum stakes won’t break the bank, and the games are super-easy to learn. Here's how you can get started and play live baccarat today.

In a game of live baccarat, two hands are dealt onto the table: the Player’s and the Banker’s. Each hand contains two cards. The dealer uses special cards, which are scanned by a computer and displayed on your screen via live stream. As long as your browser can handle the live stream and sound, you’re good to go!

When playing baccarat online, the dealer will welcome you to the table and prompt you when it’s your turn to place a bet. If you don’t want to play, you can sit out and simply observe the action. In fact, you may be playing alongside hundreds of other players, all betting on the outcome of the game.

Just as in regular baccarat against the computer, you simply bet on which hand you think will have a total nearest to 9. Using the betting area provided, use your keyboard or touch screen to drag chips to the area provided. When the croupier is ready to deal, betting will be suspended. In live baccarat, the human dealer has a lot more control over the play compared to computerized games where you decide when the cards will be dealt.

Live Baccarat Game Rules

In live baccarat, aces are worth 1, picture cards zero, and all other cards their pip value. For instance, imagine a hand plays out like this:

Player: 2-K

Banker: 3-4

In this live casino baccarat game, the Player would have a total of 2 (2 + 0), and the Banker would have 7 (3 + 4). The Banker’s hand would therefore win.

If you bet on the Player, and the Player wins, you get paid 1/1. If you bet on the Banker, and the Banker wins, you get paid 19/20 (1/1 minus a 5% commission to the house). A tie pays 8/1.

Third Card Rule

In some cases, there is a third card that must be dealt, depending on the first two totals. Don’t worry: the live baccarat dealer is professional and knows exactly when to deal a third card. Here’s when additional cards may be drawn: Player Rule: Player gets a third card if total is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. Banker Rule: Banker gets a third card if they have 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 AND the Player hasn’t been dealt a third card. The Banker also receives no extra cards if they have 6+. This is where things get interesting for the Banker in live baccarat online. They can get an extra card depending on whether the Player has received an extra card also. Banker Total is 0, 1 or 2: Banker receives one extra card Banker Total is 3: Banker receives one extra card unless the Player has a total of 8 Banker Total is 4: Banker receives a card unless Player’s third card is 0, 1, 8 or 9 Banker Total is 5: Banker receives a card if Player’s third card is 4, 5, 6 or 7 Banker Total is 6: Banker receives a card if Player’s third card is 6 or 7

No Commission Baccarat

Most popular forms of live baccarat feature some sort of commission on a winning Banker bet. However, in No Commission Baccarat, the 5% commission is waived! There is one exception you need to look out for, however: on a Banker total of 6, players receive half their original stake.

In our No Commission Baccarat game, there’s also a cool insurance bet called ‘Super 6’. Place the Super 6 bet, and if the Banker scores 6 you’ll receive a payout worth 15/1.

A Bit of Baccarat Background

The history of baccarat is almost as old as gambling itself. It’s believed that an early form of the game was devised by an Italian gambler and card player called Felix Falguiere. He invented a game where picture cards were assigned a value of zero. The game soon adopted the Italian word for ‘zero’: “baccara”.

However, in the early casinos of the 1500s, baccarat was played with different players taking it in turn to act as the Banker. In effect, other gamblers were able to play directly against the Banker. The system is still used today in baccarat offshoots such as Chemin de Fer.

Over time, baccarat traveled overseas, being adopted in the Americas as Punto Banco and later in Macau. Baccarat – and its different forms – is by far the most popular table card game in Macau, with its myriad side bets pulling in the gamblers from far and wide.

While baccarat has gained immortality on screen in James Bond films, the advent of online casinos such as Boom Casino mean you too can now grab a seat at the table, wherever you live. With our baccarat live casino, you can be shaken and stirred while taking on the dealer face to face!
