Live dealer baccarat - the goal of the game

The player makes bets on the combined set of cards collected by himself, dealer or draw. The winner in the live dealer baccarat is the one who will be able to collect a combination of cards with a total number of points of 9 or as close as possible to 9.

Live dealer Baccarat basics

The typical live baccarat table on which the game takes place holds up to 14 players on average.

The two main participants in the game are a banker and a player. The dealer deals two cards to each of them, and the rest of the players place bets on the chosen side. Players may place bets on the Player and / or Bank and / or bet on Draw.

The direct participant of the distribution (banker or player), who scores 9 points, wins. If a player scores 8 points and his opponent scores less, then he wins anyway. If neither the banker nor the player has 8 or 9 points, then the dealer can deal with the third card.

The actions of the remaining players are limited by bets and monitoring the process itself.
