Baccarat is a very easy online casino game to play

The online casinos have given us the chance to play a wide variety of casino games which were not available in Irish land based casinos, some of which also had a reputation for being either too difficult to learn or even worse the preserve of high rollers. One of these casino games is Baccarat, which partly as a result of the famous scene in a James Bond movie is even now considered to be simply for the rich. This perception was not helped by the fact that even in casinos which did offer Baccarat as a casino game, it was often played in a separate room away from the main floor of the casino. We now know that Baccarat is in fact very easy to play because although the rules are a little complicated, we as punters do not need to know them to play the game. For interest sake we have included the rules of Baccarat in our casino games pages, but particularly when playing Baccarat online the whole game is controlled by the dealer. There are just two hands dealt in Baccarat, ie. the player’s hand and the dealer’s hand, and the player simply has to decide which hand wins. In fact there are only three possible outcomes in the casino game of Baccarat at an online casino, namely a win for the dealer or the player or occasionally a tied hand. A winning bet on the player’s hand normally pays even money, whereas a successful bet on the dealer’s hand usually pays even money less 5%. This is because the dealer generally has a slight edge in Baccarat and is therefore more likely to hold the winning hand. A tie is fairly unusual so a winning bet on a tie will pay as much as 8/1 or even 9/1 at some online casinos. It is also worth pointing out that Baccarat can be played at most online casinos for very reasonably stakes dispelling the myth that it is just a game for high rollers. Baccarat is great fun so why not have a go.
