ZAR Casino’s Baccarat Online Variations

The aim of the game is to guess which of the two hands will end up with a card total closest to nine points. You can also wager on a Tie outcome with Baccarat online. There are several popular variations that you can try your hand at:

3-Card
You’ll have a single 52-card deck when you opt for this variant. Each round begins with three cards dealt to the Bank and Player hands. Although the scoring is similar to basic Baccarat online, with numbered cards being worth their face value, Aces are one point, and the remainder nothing. The hand which gets three face cards is worth the most. The hand scoring nine points is the second-best.
Banque
You’ll have three decks of cards to work with when you play Baccarat online and choose this variation. You have the option to act as the bank but will not be up against other players. Also, you will not have to cover their bets but will have to wager on the Banker hand winning.
Chemin de Fer
Choose this variant when you chose Baccarat online and you will also take the bank’s role. But in this case, you will be up against other players, as many as 14.

How To Play This Card Game

With only three betting options, enjoying a Baccarat online real money experience is relatively simple. You don’t need to memorise a complicated system of rules to play Baccarat online and can get going pretty quickly, once you understand the basics. The good news is that there’s also some serious winning potential when it comes to the online Baccarat South Africa options with us!

In most Baccarat online real money games, a winning bet on the Player hand will pay out at 1:1. A successful wager on the Banker hand offers returns at 0.95:1 because the house takes a 5% commission on these, due to the fact that this outcome occurs most often. And if you guess on a Tie outcome occurring and this ends up happening, you’ll collect at a hefty 8:1!

There’s a good reason that James Bond always opted to play Baccarat online real money and many other people love it as much as they do. It plays out quickly, offers the chance of pretty serious rewards, and requires relatively little from the player, relying instead on luck to determine the winner. Experience its charm for yourself when you try our fabulous online Baccarat South Africa variants!
