In terms of rules and gameplay, live casino baccarat and traditional baccarat are very similar. In both cases, you bet on the outcomes of a fast-paced card game based on chance. (If you prefer more skills-based gaming, Jackpot City has a wide selection of blackjack games with live dealers).
When it comes to the gaming experience, however, there are some key differences. To play traditional baccarat, you have to travel to a physical casino, but live dealer baccarat is available anywhere, any time. Play on your couch at home or anywhere else – the choice is yours. Games are fully optimised for mobile use, so you can use your mobile device of choice to play live baccarat online and on the go.
Easy of play is another plus, thanks to an intuitive gaming interface packed with features you won’t find at a physical casino – features like multiple camera views, rich statistics, and no-commission Banker bets. There’s also a greater variety of games to choose from, including Speed Baccarat and Dragon Tiger.
Popular Live Baccarat Games
Here are some popular live dealer baccarat variants at Jackpot City:
Baccarat 1:
A live dealer version of traditional baccarat, Baccarat 1 invites you make Player, Banker, or Tie bets. Win a payout if the hand you bet on is closest to 9 in value once all the cards are dealt. To avoid paying commission on Banker bets, select No Commission mode. Side bets include Pair Bets, Super 6, and a Player / Banker Bonus side bet – the more points your hand wins by, the bigger the payout.
Speed Baccarat 1:
Speed Baccarat is similar to Baccarat 1 but each round takes less time, so you can play more hands.
Dragon Tiger:
A simplified version of traditional baccarat, Dragon Tiger is played with just two cards – the Dragon and the Tiger. Bet on which card will have the highest value or put your money on a tie.
