INTRODUCTION
Microgaming’s Baccarat Gold is an online casino table focused on delivering the finest core baccarat experience. The developers spent a lot of time fine-tuning every aspect of both the visuals and gameplay to perfection. Watching the game unfold in front of us is quite enjoyable. However, if you are in a rush, you can speed up the animations via the settings.
If you stick to banker bets, you will get a 98.94% RTP. Baccarat Gold is played with eight decks, with each deck having 52 cards total. It also comes with two side bets: banker pair and player pair! They are simple to understand, and add a bit of volatility to the game. On top of that, Microgaming’s release comes with the squeeze option for cards. Perfect for the more superstitious among us!
HOW TO PLAY BACCARAT GOLD
The game is played in front of a zoomed out baccarat table, made to look like the real thing. It looks a bit complicated, but you will quickly get the hang of it. Pick your coin value, and then click the player, banker or tie field to place your wager. If you want to take your bet back, you can do so by pressing the clear bets button. You are allowed to adjust your bets for as long as you like. Only after you press Deal can you no longer change your stake.
You will see a very cool looking animation of a deck being reshuffled on your first round. At that point, two cards will be drawn for both the player and banker. Here, the squeeze feature comes into play. Punters are able to twist and turn the card around, giving them a preview of what lies beneath. You can play around with this feature all you like, or you can disable it entirely by using Quick Deal. We advise keeping remove losing hands off if you use Quick Deal, otherwise you will not be able to keep track of what is going on.
If you correctly predicted the winner of the round, then you will receive the prize. Players are able to keep track of previous wins and possible trends thanks to roadmap in the lower right. After a while, the decks will be reshuffled, in order to prevent card counting.
PAYOUTS
Meanwhile, the rewards for a standard round of baccarat are quite basic. Banker bets are more likely to win due to how the third card rules are structured. As a result, it has a 5% commission applied to any banker win. This results in a 0.95:1 payout, allowing the casino to keep their edge.
Player bets are less likely to win, and do not have any commission applied to them. They pay the usual 1:1 reward when forming a winning bet. Finally, punters can bet that the round will result in a tie. It is unlikely to happen. That said, if you guess it right, you will receive a 8:1 reward.
what we like

what we don’t like
