Best Live Baccarat Games to Play at Betiton UK

Live Speed Baccarat

Baccarat is generally a fast-paced game, with the whole round taking around 48 seconds to complete. That being said, players looking for an even more exhilarating baccarat experience can now play Live Speed Baccarat, which is a form of baccarat that takes just 27 to complete a round.

This excellent game from Evolution Gaming is played with eight standard 52-card decks, and the values attached to the cards work just the same as that of a typical baccarat game.

Live Baccarat Squeeze

The next popular type of live dealer baccarat is Live Baccarat Squeeze, a variant of the classic version of Baccarat streamed from Evolution Gaming’s luxury studios. This variant uses over 15 cameras to capture the game’s atmosphere, focusing on the squeeze. The dealer deals the cards facing down, quickly revealing the hand with the lowest wager and squeezing the cards dealt to the highest wager.

Live Lightning Baccarat

Lightning Baccarat is another popular title with a Lightning Card feature. This game combines classic baccarat rules with an RNG-based Lightning Card multipliers feature. In every round, up to five numbers will be randomly chosen and given a multiplier. The multiplier will be applied to the total payout if the winning hand comprises those Lightning Cards.

Live Baccarat Rules

The most important thing to understand about baccarat is that the dealer handles all the action. Players only need to place their bet and let the dealer do the rest.

Below, we’ve summarised the basic rules you should be familiar with:

• There are three basic bets in baccarat: banker, player, and tie.

• The side with a hand total closest to nine wins the round.
• If the player and the banker’s hands have equal scores, the game ends in a tie.
• In the case of a tie, you only receive a payout if you placed the tie bet. If not, you lose your bet.
• The dealer deals two face-down cards to the banker and the player sides.
• The cards are flipped, and the dealer calculates the hand’s value.
• A natural occurs if the player or bank gets a 9 or an 8. In this case, both sides must stand.

Card Values in Live Baccarat

Card values are very straightforward in baccarat. Understanding them is key to understanding the game and how the dealer calculates the value of a hand.

Below is a summary of these values:

• Number cards (2-9) hold their face value. For example, a ‘2’ is worth two points.
• Aces have a value of one point.
• Tens and Face Cards (10, Jacks, Queens, and Kings) are worth zero points.

Another key fact about baccarat is that a hand can only have a single-digit value in this game. If a hand exceeds a value of nine, 10 points are removed from the total. For example, if a hand contains a seven and an eight, it counts as a five (15-10 = 5).

Side Bets in Live Baccarat

Besides the basic bets in baccarat, you can place optional side bets before the cards are dealt.

The most common side bets are explained below:

• Banker Pair – A bet that the banker’s hand will be a pair.
• Player Pair – A bet that the player’s hand will be a pair.
• Royal Match – A bet that the player or banker will get a King and Queen pair as the first two cards.
