Baccarat has always been a popular game in land based casinos. But, since the expansion of the casino world into an online setting, baccarat online has gained popularity and expanded into many different variations which slightly alter the rules of the original game. However, if you're looking for a quick crash course into how to play baccarat online before you place a bet, take a look below.

An online baccarat game is based on predicting the outcome of which hand will be the winning after the cards are dealt on the table. Normally within a game, there will be the player's and the banker's hands, and the only decisions players will need to make when playing is which hand they believe will win by getting closest to nine and how much they wish to wager.

There will be other additional side bets that players can make with cash funds, including player pair and dealer pair, and these will win if the two cards dealt to both the player and dealer include two matching cards, such as 5,5 or Q,Q.

After the cards dealt are shown, there are rules to follow in order to make a successful winning hand. These include 10 and picture cards counting as zero, and if your score goes over 2, you drop the first digit. In baccarat online, an ace will also count as one, meaning a hand of Ace+6 would equate to seven.

We've listed online baccarat hands below to give you more insight:

10+9 = 19 : This hand counts a natural 19

9+7 = 16: This would count as a 6

There are occasions when a third card is dealt, and this will be a tie between both hands. The human dealer will first deal the player card face up, followed by the banker's hand. The game will then be decided, and the players will be informed of the result.

Players can wager on whether a tie bet will be the outcome, whether the banker wins or the player wins at a baccarat table. However, if you’d like a more in-depth explanation, learn everything you will need to know about baccarat online in our How To Play Baccarat guide.

Live Baccarat Side Bets

If you choose to play live baccarat at an online casino before the cards are dealt, players may also notice some additional side bet options which they can place. The two biggest side bets are the player pair and the banker pair, and for these to come off in a game, the cards dealt to either the player or banker must include a perfect pair of numbers, so whether that is a set of three's or a set of queens. However, it's worth noting if a card shoe includes eight decks or more, there is a chance this bet can happen.

Some say that the standard game is the best, and if you've played baccarat in a land-based casino, the chances you will have played the base version which draws its roots from the French game Chemin De Fer. Many of our selected games are similar to classic baccarat and have familiar rules and side bets, including player pair and banker pair. So if you want to play baccarat online the way it was meant to be played, take a look at the many options we have in our game list.

When you look at card games, there is often an ingrained feeling that it is a game of skill, and if someone is winning consistently, then it must be because they are a more skilled player. That may well be true in some cases for other games, such as Poker or online Blackjack, where some sort of strategy can be implemented when you start playing.

However, online baccarat, it’s slightly different, as it comes down to luck as to which cards will be dealt. Players will also be playing against a house edge which may take a percentage of the winnings if you choose to play a specific version of the game. There is no real strategy to be played.

When it comes to baccarat online, there is no longer just one version of the game for players to explore. Many of our live baccarat tables have similar rules to traditional live baccarat, but they offer something a little different, where you still play with either one or two cards and pick a side to win.

What is the best bet in Baccarat?
