However, today everyone is able to enjoy Baccarat, regardless of bankroll, and here at Regent Play, we have tables to suit every kind of player. You will find tables open around the clock with a wide range of betting limits. Furthermore, you will also find a few different types of tables, ensuring that every player will find exactly what they are looking for.
Live Baccarat Games Packed Full of Features
Whether you are a complete beginner to Baccarat or an expert who has been playing for years, we are sure that you will find all of the features you could possible need at our tables. To start with, the tables offer a wide choice of roadmap scorecards, the Bead Road, the Big Road, the Big Eye Road, the Small Road and the Cockroach Road. Many players enjoy using these to try to spot patterns and each one provides a different way of doing so. Many of our games also offer a number of exciting side bets, such as the Player/Banker Pair, Player/Banker Bonus, and more. These are a fun way to try to increase your winnings with every round. The games also allow you to chat with your fellow players, ensuring that there is a lively and social atmosphere.
A Wide Choice of Live Baccarat Tables
Baccarat is not a game with a huge number of variants, but you will still find a great amount of choice here at Regent Play. To start with, with offer both regular and No Commission Baccarat. In regular Baccarat, there is a 5% commission to pay on winning banker bets. In No Commission Baccarat, this commission is removed, unless the Banker position is worth 6, in which case the payout is halved. We also offer Speed Baccarat; a round lasts around 48 seconds in the regular game, but at the Speed Baccarat tables, this is reduced to 27 seconds by dealing all of the cards face-up. This allows for more rounds per hour and even more fun. Those who enjoy the ritual of the squeeze will love our Squeeze Baccarat tables. The dealer performs the squeeze and it is captured in a number of exciting close-up shots. There is also Live Baccarat Control Squeeze, which uses clever technology to allow players to peel back the cards themselves.
There are a couple of other Asian games in addition to Baccarat. We offer Live Dragon Tiger, which is very similar to Baccarat but has simplified rules. We also offer Live Sic Bo, a game that requires players to bet on the outcome of the roll of three dice. In short, if you are a Baccarat player, we are sure that you will find everything that you need.
The High Roller Experience
If you are looking for the High Roller experience then don’t worry. You will find plenty of Baccarat tables with higher betting limits to accommodate those who want to bet more per round. Furthermore, if you want the ultimate experience, then you can play at our Salon Privé tables. These tables have higher minimum bets, but in return, you will play one-on-one with the dealer and it offers features such as the ability to request a change of dealer, control the shuffle, and there will be a room manager present at all times to ensure that you are completely satisfied.
The Basics of Live Baccarat
It takes no time at all to understand how to play Baccarat. All players are doing is betting on which position, the Player or Banker, will have a value closer to 9 at the end of the round. As such, there are just three bets (Player, Banker and Tie), and three possible outcomes.
After the bets are placed, the dealer deals two cards to each of the positions. In Baccarat, the cards 2 through 10 are worth their face value, the picture cards are worth 10 and Aces are worth 1. If the sum of the two cards is larger than 10 (e.g. 7 and 8, which is 15), then 10 is removed from the total (so 7 and 8 are worth 5).
A third card may be dealt to either of the hands in a few situations. If a hand is worth 8 or 9 it is called a natural and will not receive any more cards. The Player position will receive a third card if it is worth 5 or less. If the Player does not receive a third card, then the Banker will if it is worth 5 or less, but not if it is worth 6 or more.
If the player has received a third card then:
- If the Banker is worth 2 or less it receives a third card.
- If the Banker is worth 3 it receives a card if the Player’s third card was not 8.
- If the Banker is worth 4 it receives a card if the Player’s third card was 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7.
- If the Banker is worth 5 it receives a card if the Player’s third card was 4, 5, 6, or 7.
- If the Banker is worth 6 it receives a card if the Player’s third card was 6, or 7.
- If the Banker is worth 7 or more it stands.
After all cards have been dealt, players are paid out for any winning bets.
Side Bets in Live Baccarat Side Bets
As noted, many of the Live Baccarat tables offer a selection of side bets. The Player/Banker Pair side bets pay out if one of the positions is dealt a pair, such as 3 of Clubs and 3 of Spades. The Either Pair side bet pays out if either position is dealt a pair. The Perfect Pair side bet pays out if one of the positions is dealt a pair of identical cards, such as two Five of Diamonds. Some tables may offer even more side bets, and these are a great way to add even more excitement to each round.
