Baccarat is a simple game with three types of bets:

• Banker bet
• Player bet
• Tie bet (standoff)

Though the game is simple, baccarat follows strict dealing rules. 

Live Baccarat is played from an eight-deck shoe. All face cards and 10s have no value. Cards less than 10 are counted at face value, Aces are worth 1. The suits of the cards don't play a role in the game. Only single digit values are valid. Any count that reaches a double digit drops the left digit. 15 is counted as 5 and 25 is also counted as 5. Each hand is consisted of no more than three cards, the baccarat rules do not allow a fourth card to be dealt under any circumstances.

To start, the players bet either on Banker, Player or Tie. Both Player and Banker pay even money, but a winning Banker bet commands a 5% commission. A Tie bet pays 8:1. The goal in baccarat is to reach a point total of 9 with your hand.

The live dealer gives two cards to both the Player hand and the Banker hand; first to the Player and then the Banker. A third card may be dealt to either or both the Player and the Bank based on the following three-card-rules. It is not necessary to learn these rules to play, they are compulsory decisions and therefore automatic. 

Player's third-card-rule 

If either the Player or the Bank have a total of 8 or 9 on the first two cards no further cards are drawn. The resulting hand is called a Natural and the hand is over. If the Player's total is less than or equal to 5 the Player's hand draws a third card. 

If the Player does not draw a third card, then the bank's hand stands on 6 or more and takes a third card on a total of 5 or less. If the Player does take a third card then the Bank's third-card-rule below will determine if the bank takes a third card.

Bank's third-card-rule

• If the Bank's total is 2 or less then bank draws a card, regardless of what the player’s third card is. 
• If the Banks total is 3 then the bank draws a third card unless the Players third card was an 8. 
• If the Banks total is 4 then the bank draws a third card unless the Players third card was a 0, 1, 8, or 9.
• If the Banks total is 5 then the bank draws a third card if the Players third card was 4, 5, 6, or 7.
• If the Banks total is 6 then the bank draws a third card if the Players third card was a 6 or 7.
• If the Banks total is 7 then the bank stands.

After the dealer has followed the third card dealing rule, the hand is closest to 9 without going over is announced the winner.

Dragon Bonus Side Bet

The Dragon Bonus is a Baccarat side bet that pays when the hand is a Natural winner, or when the hand wins by a at least 4 points. 

Natural winners pay even-money on the Dragon Bonus bet, and in the event of a Natural that ties, the Dragon Bonus bet pushes. Non-Natural winners that win by at least 4 points pay even-money, and the larger the margin of victory, the larger the payout. For example, a non-Natural hand that wins by 9 points receives a payout of 30:1! To view the entire Dragon Payout table, click the ‘Dragon Payout’ tab on the right side of the game interface.

To participate in the Dragon Bonus players must wager by betting in the marked area labeled ‘Player Dragon’, ‘Banker Dragon’, or both.

Welcome to Blackjack Early Payout - Based on Basic BJ strategy rules

Both new and professional blackjack players will love this feature rich game designed specifically to deliver an outstanding Live Dealer Blackjack experience.

Main features of the game:

You can bet on one, two or all 3 hands every time.  No waiting for a seat!  Lots of action!

Very fast play – dealers will always deal the cards according to the optimal player strategy known to professional players as Basic Strategy.  The benefits of this are both fast and consistent play. Your result will never be affected by another player's poor decision nor will you have to wait.

While Basic Strategy will offer an exceptional game payout of 99.5%, blackjack players want choices.  For each hand where you have placed a wager, you can either follow the Basic Strategy decision to HIT/STAND/DOUBLE or SPLIT or choose a different option.

The default action will be highlighted Bright Blue OR you can select your own option highlighted in Silver.  Options will change depending on the hand.

For example, if the player has a 15 and the dealer has a 10, Basic Strategy will HIT. However, one player can choose to STAND if he wants to, while other players accept the HIT.  If you choose STAND, the next card that comes out will not affect you and will appear as a Ghost Card on the user interface.

In all cases, you can elect to take fewer cards than Basic Strategy recommends (ie STAND or DOUBLE when Basic Strategy says to HIT).  However, you will never be allowed to HIT when the Basic Strategy says STAND because the dealer will always follow Basic Strategy no matter what the players choose.

Another amazing feature of this game is Early Payout. Each time your hand changes, you will be offered an Early Payout amount highlighted in Green.  This is the amount of money you can take immediately to end the hand before any more cards are dealt.

For example, if you have a 20 and the dealer has a 10, you can take over 50% profit immediately – a very wise decision if the dealer ends up with 20!

Side Bets:

There are two side bets available on each of the three boxes:  PAIRS and RUMMY.

PAIRS bets pay 11:1 and win on any pair (e.g.  4,4, Q,Q, A, A).  If the Player's first two cards are a pair, you win!

RUMMY bets pay 9:1. This bet is also known as 2 plus 1 in some parts of the world. This bet uses a combination of 3 cards: the Player's first two cards PLUS the Dealer's UP card. There are 3 ways to win a RUMMY bet:

A 3 card straight (e.g. 4H, 5D, 6S).

3 of the same card value (e.g. 10H, 10D, 10S)

3 of the same suit / flush (e.g. 2D, 9D, KD)

Super 6, a popular variant of Baccarat, is a simple game with three types of bets:

• Banker bet (aka “Banco”)
• Player bet (aka “Punto”) 
• Tie bet (aka “Egalite”) 

Though the game is simple, Super 6 follows strict dealing rules. 

Live Super 6 is played from an six-deck shoe. All face cards and 10s have no value. Cards less than 10 are counted at face value, Aces are worth 1. The suits of the cards don't play a role in the game. Only single digit values are valid. Any count that reaches a double digit drops the left digit. 15 is counted as 5 and 25 is also counted as 5. Each hand is consisted of no more than three cards, the Super 6 rules do not allow a fourth card to be dealt under any circumstances.

To start, the players bet either on Banker, Player or Tie. Both Player and Banker pay even money (1:1) in Super 6, except when Banker wins with 6, it pays 50% of the bet (1:2). A Tie bet pays 8:1. The goal in Super 6 is to reach a point total of 9 with your hand.

The live dealer gives two cards to both the Player hand and the Banker hand; first to the Player and then the Banker. A third card may be dealt to either or both the Player and the Bank based on the following three-card-rules. It is not necessary to learn these rules to play, they are compulsory decisions and therefore automatic. 

Player's third-card-rule 

If either the Player or the Bank have a total of 8 or 9 on the first two cards no further cards are drawn. The resulting hand is called a Natural and the hand is over. If the Player's total is less than or equal to 5 the Player's hand draws a third card. 

If the Player does not draw a third card, then the bank's hand stands on 6 or more and takes a third card on a total of 5 or less. If the Player does take a third card then the Bank's third-card-rule below will determine if the bank takes a third card.

Bank's third-card-rule

• If the Bank's total is 2 or less then bank draws a card, regardless of what the player’s third card is. 
• If the Banks total is 3 then the bank draws a third card unless the Players third card was an 8. 
• If the Banks total is 4 then the bank draws a third card unless the Players third card was a 0, 1, 8, or 9.
• If the Banks total is 5 then the bank draws a third card if the Players third card was 4, 5, 6, or 7.
• If the Banks total is 6 then the bank draws a third card if the Players third card was a 6 or 7.
• If the Banks total is 7 then the bank stands.

After the dealer has followed the third card dealing rule, the hand is closest to 9 without going over is announced the winner.
