Baccarat - Classic Table Game at 888 Casino

Baccarat is one of the world's most iconic and elegant casino card games, with a history dating back to 19th century France. This classic table game has long been associated with high rollers and James Bond-style sophistication. At 888 Casino, players can experience the thrill of live baccarat with real dealers, bringing the authentic casino atmosphere directly to their screens.

The objective of Baccarat is simple: bet on whether the Player hand, the Banker hand, or the Tie will have a total value closest to 9. The game uses multiple decks of cards, and each hand is dealt according to specific rules that players do not need to memorize, as the dealer handles all drawing decisions automatically.

At 888 Casino, we offer multiple variants of Baccarat including Speed Baccarat for fast-paced action, VIP Baccarat for high-stakes players, and our exclusive Dragon Bonus Baccarat with enhanced payouts. Each variant maintains the core excitement while offering unique features to suit different playing styles.

Learning to play Baccarat is quick and straightforward. Follow these steps to join the action:

Step 1: Place Your Bet

Choose your wager amount and select which outcome you want to bet on: Player, Banker, or Tie. The Banker bet has slightly better odds but typically incurs a 5% commission on wins. The Player bet pays even money with no commission.

Step 2: Cards Are Dealt

Two cards are dealt to both the Player and Banker positions. Card values are calculated as follows: Ace = 1, 2-9 = face value, and 10s and face cards = 0. If either hand totals 8 or 9, it is a "natural" and no more cards are drawn.

Step 3: Third Card Rules

If neither hand has a natural, a third card may be dealt according to specific rules. These rules are automatic in online Baccarat, so players simply watch the action unfold without needing to make any decisions.

Step 4: Determine the Winner

The hand closest to 9 wins. Player wins pay even money, Banker wins pay even money minus 5% commission, and Tie bets typically pay 8:1 or 9:1 depending on the variant.
