Live Dealer baccarat

Play Live Baccarat Online

Live Baccarat online replicates the simplicity and rapid pace of traditional baccarat. The objective remains the same: bet on which hand, the Player, or the Banker, will have a value closest to nine, or if the outcome will be a tie. Playing online at Vegas Moose is straightforward:

• Choose a Table: Select a live baccarat game from our diverse offerings.
• Place Your Bets: Decide on your bet type and amount. You can bet on the Player, Banker, or a Tie.
• Gameplay: The dealer deals two cards each to the Player and Banker sides. A third card may be drawn following baccarat rules.
• Winning: Payouts are made based on the outcomes. Betting on the Player pays 1:1, Banker bets (after a 5% commission) pay 1:1, and Ties typically pay 8:1.

Live Baccarat Side Bet Rules

Live Baccarat offers a variety of side bets to add excitement and additional betting options to the game. These side bets vary in terms of payout, house edge, and conditions for winning. Here's an overview of some popular side bets in Live Baccarat:

1. Bellagio Match: This bet is on a three-of-a-kind outcome with payouts of 75:1 for a Player's three-of-a-kind and 68:1 for a Banker’s, each having different house edges.
2. Super 6: A bet that pays 12:1 if the Banker wins with a total of six. This side bet has a notably high house edge.
3. Pairs: Bets on either the Banker’s or Player's cards forming a pair, with payouts and conditions varying for Perfect Pairs, Player Pairs, and Banker Pairs.
4. Small/Big: A bet on the total number of cards dealt. A Small bet wins if the total number of cards is 4, while a big bet wins if the total is 5 or 6.
5. Dragon Bonus: This side bet pays out based on the margin of victory, with higher payouts for larger margins. Conditions include payouts for natural wins and wins by a specific number of points.
6. Egalite Extra: A bet on specific tie outcomes with various payouts depending on the tie number.
7. 3-Card Six: A side bet that pays if both the Player and Banker get a 3-card six, with a significant payout but a high house edge.
8. Lucky Bonus: A wager on the Banker hand being a winning six, notable for offering a player advantage under specific conditions.
9. Dragon 7: Exclusive to EZ Baccarat, this bet pays out when the Banker gets a winning 3-card 7.
10. Panda 8: Another side bet from EZ Baccarat, paying if the Player achieves a winning 3-card 8.

Each of these side bets adds a layer of strategy and potential for high rewards, but also comes with its own risk in the form of a house edge. Players should be aware of these aspects when choosing to place side bets in Live Baccarat.

Live Baccarat Game Variations at Vegas Moose

Live Baccarat is a popular card game offered in various formats across online casinos, each providing a unique twist to the classic game. Here are some of the most common live Baccarat game variations you might encounter:

1. Classic Baccarat: The traditional version of the game, also known as Punto Banco. Players can bet on either the player's hand, the banker's hand, or a tie. The aim is to guess which hand will have a total closest to 9.
2. Speed Baccarat: As the name suggests, Speed Baccarat accelerates the pace of the game. Each round takes about half the time of a traditional round, making it ideal for players looking for quick gameplay.
3. Baccarat Squeeze: This version adds a bit of suspense to the game. The dealer slowly reveals the cards, squeezing them to prolong the reveal. This variant is particularly popular for its added drama and excitement.
4. No Commission Baccarat: In traditional Baccarat, bets on the banker's hand winning are subject to a 5% commission. No Commission Baccarat removes this fee, but there might be adjustments to payouts, especially when the banker wins with a certain total.
5. Lightning Baccarat: This variant introduces random multipliers. Before each game round, up to five cards are struck by lightning and receive multiplied payouts. If you win on a hand containing a Lightning Card, your winnings can be significantly increased.
6. Dragon Tiger: Though not a Baccarat game per se, Dragon Tiger is a simplified version that's often grouped with Baccarat variations. Players bet on which of two cards, Dragon, or Tiger, will be higher. It offers a straightforward and fast-paced gaming experience.
7. Baccarat Controlled Squeeze: Similar to Baccarat Squeeze, in this variant, players can take control of the squeeze themselves via a digital interface. It adds an interactive element, as players can reveal the cards at their own pace.
8. VIP Baccarat: Tailored for high rollers, VIP Baccarat tables offer higher betting limits and often feature in exclusive sections of the casino. These tables may also provide a more personal gaming experience with fewer players.
9. Mini Baccarat: Played on a smaller table with lower stakes, Mini Baccarat follows the same rules as classic Baccarat but is designed for players with a more modest bankroll. The game typically has a faster pace due to the smaller scale.

Each of these variations offers a unique experience while maintaining the core elements of Baccarat, making the game appealing to a wide range of players. Whether you're looking for fast-paced action, enhanced interaction, or the chance for bigger payouts, there's likely a live Baccarat variation that suits your preferences.
