Dublin Bet’s Punto Banco Baccarat
 Live Punto Banco Baccarat is another one of the real dealer casino games Dublin Bet Casino has the privaledge to offer. Live Baccarat, unlike Live Poker or Live Blackjack, does not require any real strategy to play and win. Sarcastically, Baccarat is considered a “High Roller” game. Its possible that the high rollers prefer the game because it is fast compared to Blackjack, but most probably because Baccarat is the casino game that has the lowest house advantage. In other words, live dealer Baccarat is the easiest game to have fun and win. Of course, one needs to pay attention to the opportunities that arise while playing.
Live croupier Baccarat at Dublin Bet provides us with Punto Banco Baccarat, which originated in Cuba. It is also known as North American Baccarat, ironically though Punto Banco are two Spanish words. This version of Baccarat is the most common of the three variations. The other two versions are Baccarat Chemin de fer and Baccarat Banque. The more decks of cards used by the casino grants the house more of an edge. The minimum amount of decks used is four decks of cards. However, Dublin Bet Casino does not mention how many decks of cards they use, but it has to be at least four decks. Punto Banco Baccarat is different from Baccarat Chemin de fer and Baccarat Banque in the amount of players per table and in the size of the card table. The live dealer Baccarat game offered at Dublin Bet Casino is the exact same Punto Banco Baccarat you would encounter if you went to a land casino. The main reason for this is because the game is held in a real life casino in Dublin, Ireland.
 When a players hand wins the bet is called Punto.
 When the bankers hand wins the bet is called Banco. The bankers hand is the hand that usually wins the game.
When a Tie occurs the bet is called Egalite.
The Punto Banco Baccarat table layout and bets are made in the same manner as in a land casino.
 Dublin Bet makes it very easy for us online players to participate in the live Punto Banco Baccarat game. It is simply a matter of having spare time and being online. The tag “Player” and “Banker” do not mean the actual player or the live dealer. These are simply the two options a player has to bet on. The player with the highest point total closest to 9 wins. If the “Player” or Punto wins the casino pays you equal money. If the “Banker”or Banco bet wins, the odds paid are 19 to 20, or 95% of the bet you place. As mentioned previously the “Banker’s” hand usually wins and for this reason the casino charges the 5% commission fee. The casino needs to apply this in order to make ends meet with this game. When a tie or Egalite occur the bet on the player or banker do not win or loose. An Egalite pays 8 to 1 when the Baccaratplayer bets on a tie ocurring. 
The picture cards and 10´s count as 0.
Aces count as 1.
All other cards count as their face value.
When playing real live dealer Baccarat with Dublin Bet the dealer will first draw two cards for each gambler. If either total of cards for the player or banker is 8 or 9, called a Natural, the dealer will automatically stop drawing the third card. A 9 is the maximum total of cards a gambler can achieve when playing Baccarat because if the sum of the cards is more than 9 the ten digit number is dropped. For example, if the sum of the cards is 10+10=20. The total would be considered 2
 + = 2
CocoLoco always recommends reading Dublin Bet Casino’s Guide to Gaming before playing real Baccarat. It is very complete and precise in order to play in the correct manner. For the more experienced gamblers it is good to read for quick reminders. However, if you are very familiar with Punto Banco Baccarat, then you will not find anything out of the ordinary when playing live dealer Punto Banco Baccarat.
The drawing rules for the Player or Punto are the following when the first two cards total:
0,1 – 5 = player must draw
6 or 7 = player must stand
8 or 9 = player stands (Natural)
The drawing rules for the Banker or Banco are the following when the first two cards total:
0, 1 – 5 = banker must draw
6 – 9 = banker must stand
The Actual Play…
Playing live croupier Baccarat with Dublin Bet Casino is even easier than playing at the bricks and mortar casino. After becoming a member and logging in to play, the actual game is exactly as if you were at the casino. The amount of action in the casino depends on the time of day you decide to play and have fun. The card table is not a mirror image of a real baccarat table. Although the video feed of the live Baccarat table and live dealer from the casino is exactly how it should be. So the table image on your computer screen is not important as long as you can play according to the rules. The image below to the right is what you will see when playing at Dublin Bet Casino.
As you can see in the image below, the video feedback is the legitimate Baccarat card table. The card table images the online players use is specifically made for the online game. It has been modified for only one player. You can see the casino gives us our three betting options; player, tie and banker. When playing  real live Baccarat with Dublin Bet Casino they shows us what the sum of the cards is immediately after they have been dealt. This helps us keep up with the speed of the game. You can see in the example image that the player has one card for a total of four. The banker would be given the next card. The live dealer automatically follows the rules of the game when drawing for the player and banker. You do not need to give any commands to the croupier (dealer), other than placing your bets before “No More Bets” has been called. Dublin Bet informs you with a screen message when you need to place your bet and when no more bets are accepted. On the inferior part of the card table image you will find the betting chips. Using your mouse you choose the chips you wish to bet and place them on either the player, tie or banker. If you need more help to know how to do this I recommend using the Guide to Gaming. It is explained very clearly in that section of the casino web site.
 What we see…
On the superior part of the screen we have our current player information. The first that appears is the CREDITS, or the total amount of current credits in your account. This is always useful information to keep in mind. The second is LAST WIN. An amount is shown here when you have won the previous game. Last, you will see the BET, or the amount you are betting in the present game. The most obvious detail of them all when playing live Baccarat at Dublin Bet Casino is the video and audio webcam feed from the bricks and mortar casino in Dublin, Ireland. You can actually see the live game happening in real time, in a real place, and with a real live croupier. The best part of it all is you can participate from your choice location…home, at work, or between errands. Having the dealers name and game number appear below the video screen is a great bonus as well because it makes you feel close and personal with what is really happening. If you are a more experienced Baccarat gambler and you know how to study the patterns, then the information on the left side of the video screen will help you out a lot. They are the 10 last results of the game. Even if you are not so experienced, you can get some good hints as to what bet might win the next hand. Good luck! For sure you’ll have a wonderful time!
