PRAGMATIC PLAY LIVE BACCARAT

HOW TO PLAY LIVE BACCARAT

Wagers can only be placed during a special betting period. During this time, you can choose one of the available coins and place them on all wagers you want to play. During the betting period, you can also toggle no commission mode if you want to play under its rules. Side bets can be played without placing a main bet first. Make sure to finish all your wagers before the timer runs out. After it does, no additional bets will be accepted.

The dealer will then proceed with the round. They will draw two cards for the player, and two cards for the banker positions. Two cards will also be drawn and set aside in case there is a need to draw a third card. The goal of Pragmatic Play’s Live Baccarat is to get your hand to reach a point value of nine. The closer you can get to that number, the better.

Reaching a point value above nine removes the first digit of your number. If your cards form the number twelve, your hand will have two points total. After all the cards are drawn and hands are determined, the point total is compared between the two. The side closest to number nine will win the round. If both hands have the same value, the result is a tie.

You have access to five different roadmaps in Pragmatic Play’s release. This gives us a wide variety of options we can use to track prior wins. Perfect if you plan on chasing trends in order to achieve wins. In the bottom right roadmap, the developer will also list the current round. They will also display how often each hand has won.

PAYOUTS

Pragmatic Play Live Baccarat pays 0.95:1 on banker bet wins. The 5% commission will apply unless you toggle the no commission mode before wagering. If no commission is on, banker bets will pay 1:1 when won. However, if you win a banker bet with six points, the payout will be decreased to 0.5:1. The RTP for standard banker bets is 98.76%. No commission baccarat banker bets have an RTP of 98.54%.

The other two wagers remain identical regardless of what mode you play them in. Player bets always pay 1:1 when won. Their RTP is 98.94% in both modes. Tie bets pay 8:1 when won. Their RTP is low, sitting at 85.64% in both modes.

LIVE BACCARAT (PRAGMATIC PLAY): CASINOBLOKE’S VERDICT

There is nothing new in Pragmatic Play’s Live Baccarat. We have experienced the same gameplay before. No new side bets have been added. The only unique thing about this release is the ability to toggle between standard and no commission baccarat.

It is such a small detail, but one that catapults this game over its competition. No need to swap between tables. All you have to do is press a button, and you are playing your favourite version of baccarat. No table-swapping hassle necessary!
