Best Live Dealer Baccarat for European players at Lucky Live Casino.

Live Baccarat is one of the selected live online games Lucky Live Casino offers their members. Live Baccarat, unlike Live Poker or Live Blackjack, does not require any real strategy to play and win. Ironically so, Baccarat is considered a “High Roller” game. I am guessing it may have something to do with the game’s glamorous image. An example of this is the fact that James Bond 007 usually appears in his movies playing Baccarat. Maybe the high rollers prefer the game because it is fast compared to Blackjack or because they know that Baccarat is the game that one can easily beat the casino. The latter is probably the most reasonable reason why the high rollers play Baccarat. This is just some interesting information I thought you would like to know. The most important part of this information is the fact that live dealer Baccarat is the easiest game to have fun and win. What you need to do is pay attention to the opportunities that arise while playing online Baccarat.

The live croupier Baccarat Lucky Live Casino provides us with is called Punto Banco Baccarat which originated in Cuba. It is also known as North American Baccarat. This is one of the three most common versions of Baccarat (the other two versions are Baccarat Chemin de fer and Baccarat Banque). The more decks of cards used by the casino gives the house more of an edge. The minimum amount of decks used is four. Lucky Live Casino does not mention anywhere in their web site how many decks of cards they use, but as I said before it has to be at least four decks. Live 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. When a players hand wins the bet is called Punto. When the bankers hand wins the bet is called Banco. When a tie occurs the bet is called Egalite. The bankers hand is the hand that usually wins the game. The live dealer Baccarat game at Lucky Live Casino is the same Punto Banco Baccarat you would find at a bricks and mortar casino.

The table positions are the same and betting may be made in the same way. Like all of the live games I have played with this casino, I am still amazed by how easy it is to play a real, live Baccarat. It is simply a matter of having spare time and being online. The player with the highest point total closest to 9 wins. If the Player bet wins, or Punto, pays equal money. If the Banker bet wins, or Banco, the odds paid are 19 to 20, or 95% of the bet you place. As I said before the banker’s hand usually wins and for this reason the casino charges the 5% commission fee. If they did not do this, the casino would not be able to make ends meet with this game. What I find very interesting is the tag Player and Banker do not actually mean the actual player or the live dealer. It is simply the terminology used for the gamblers betting options. When a tie occurs the bet on the player or banker do not win or loose. Lucky Live Casino does pay 8 to 1 when a player bets on the Egalite (Tie). 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 Baccarat 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 8+8=16. The total would be considered 6.

= 6
I always recommend reading Lucky Live Casino’s Guide to Gaming before playing real Baccarat. It is very complete and precisein order to play in the correct manner. For the more experienced gamblers it is good to read for quick reminders. However, if you are familiar with Punto Banco Baccarat, then you will not find anything out of the ordinary when playing live Punto Banco Baccarat. The drawing rules for the Player are the following when the first two cards total:

The drawing rules for the Banker are the following when the first two cards total:

Playing live croupier Baccarat with Lucky Live 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. 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 to the right is what you will see when playing at Lucky Live Casino.

As you can see in the image above, the video feedback is the legitimate Baccarat card table. The card table images us online players use is specifically made for the online game. It has been modified for one player, which is all we care about. You can see the casino gives us our three betting options; player, tie and banker. One of my favorite details when playing real live Baccarat is that the casino shows us what the sum of the cards is immediately. This helps us keep up with the game. It means less work for us which are always a good thing. 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). You do need to place your bets before the game begins. Do not worry, Lucky Live Casino 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. 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. This information is an extra detail that I really appreciate while playing online. I believe you can never have too much information while gambling. Of course, the most obvious detail of them all when playing live Baccarat at Lucky Live Casino is the video and audio feedback from the bricks and mortar casino. This is what makes the games worth while. You see the live game happening in real time, in a real place, and with a real live dealer. Plus, you can have it all 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 me 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 and always have a good time!
