Live Baccarat

Live baccarat is one of the easiest card games that you are ever likely to play. Simply predict the outcome of a round: Bank wins, the player wins, or a tie. To win a total hand must come closest to 9. Face cards are worth nothing, and you must subtract 10 from totals that exceed nine. While there is a tad more to the game, you get the gist.

Despite the lack of complexity, baccarat maintains an air of sophistication. Who can forget the rugged James Bond in his black tuxedo seated at a casino baccarat table? The game has a low house edge, and there is very little strategy.

At Guts, Canadians can find several variants of baccarat. Each game is streamed in high definition from a studio, using real-life dealers to recreate an authentic experience. A chat function allows players to communicate with the dealer as well as other players. Asking a question or making a comment is very easy to do. This social element is one of the advantages compared to online baccarat.

Live baccarat is not the only live casino game that we offer. Indeed, players can also find Live Blackjack, Live Roulette and Other Games (home to live poker and live dealer game shows).

Live Dealer Baccarat

Live dealer baccarat is designed to recreate the experience of a Macau casino complete with bean-shaped tables. Some games come with a side bet which can make the game more interesting.

Players who enjoy suspense will enjoy our Live Baccarat Squeeze variant which uses over 15 cameras to capture every game moment. This can even include close-up shots of a dealer's squeeze on the top wagering hand to ratchet up the suspense.

Live Baccarat Control Squeeze is very similar to Live Baccarat Squeeze only this time it's the player that can peel back the cards to drive the suspense.

Baccarat players with a need for speed can also try Speed Baccarat where game rounds last about 27 seconds compared to 48 seconds for standard baccarat.

An exciting variant of live dealer baccarat is Lightning Baccarat involving 'lightning card multipliers' on every game round. Here, every game round contains 1 to 5 lightning cards within the 52 card deck. Each lightning card has a multiplier of 2x-5x or 8x. A fee of 20% is added to every player's total bet for the chance to crack a bigger payout. As is the case with Lightning Roulette, the baccarat table is decorated in a gold and black Art Deco theme for an even more refined appearance.

Players who hate paying commissions may appreciate No Commission Baccarat which does away with the 5% commission paid on banker wins. In return, players must pay half their original bet in commission when the banker scores 6. The player has the option of taking out a Super 6 insurance side bet, which rewards a 15:1 payout when the banker scores 6.

Side Bets

Pairs Side gives a player the option of making one of two additional bets called the Banker Pair and the Player Pair. This type of bet allows a player to bet on either the banker's initial pair of cards or the player's initial pair of cards, both with a 15:1 payout.

As you can see, live dealer baccarat is an exciting game, and you can find it here at Guts!
