Online Baccarat is one of the simplest, but most exciting online card games you can play. As one of the most popular table games, Baccarat is played around the world and is enjoyed by people who like fixed-odds games where the dealer does most of the work. Why not start your gameplay, or continue the fun by going for some Baccarat online? Will it be the player or the banker to win this round?
Whether you want to bet on the player, banker, or a tie, get ready to play online Baccarat right here at Grosvenor Casinos.
Baccarat is a card game that’s fun for many players because it’s so easy to learn. Unlike other card games, Baccarat is considered a pure game of chance with little strategy or skill involved. Two hands are dealt with either 2 or 3 cards, depending on the variation of Baccarat you’re playing. Once bets are placed and each hand has been dealt, the cards are revealed, and the highest value hand is declared the winner.
Baccarat is typically a high-stakes game, but if you prefer lower stakes there are online options that will match your style of play.
You can learn how to play online Baccarat in just a few minutes! You’re only required to place your bets at the start of the game and your choices are quite simple.
Baccarat is easy to pick up and play. Before you join a game, here is what you need to know:
- Before the player and banker's hands are dealt, the person placing the bet must decide on whether they are betting on the player’s hand or the banker’s hand.
- The dealer then puts down 2 cards for the player and 2 cards for the banker. These can be face-up, or face down, depending on where you play. Each card has a different value. Cards 2 to 9 are worth their respective numbers, while the 10, Jack, King, and Queen are worth 0. Aces are worth 1. Once both hands are revealed, whichever is the closest to 9, wins.
- If you’ve bet on the player hand and it’s the winning hand, you’ll win double your stake. If you bet on the banker’s hand and it wins, you’ll be rewarded with 95% of your wager. If the cards add up to more than 9, you remove 10 from the total. For example, if you get a 5 and an 8, your hand has a total value of 13. So, you’d drop the value of the hand by 10, giving your hand a total value of 3.
If you feel like you now know how to play Baccarat, why not give it a try?
Like in online Blackjack, each card stands for a value and they are simple to understand. Here are the points they provide:
- Cards from 2-9 award the corresponding number of points.
- 10 and face cards (Jack, Queen, and King) award 0 points.
- Aces award 1 point.
Betting in Baccarat, either online or in-casino is easy to understand. Here are the 3 basic betting options:
- You can wager on the player’s hand. If you win, you’ll take home 100% of your initial bet.
- You can wager on the banker’s hand, and if the banker wins, the payout is 95%.
- You can also wager on a tie. This will give you an 8-1 payout but is the riskiest betting option since the chances of winning are low.
Remember, if the total value of either hand exceeds 9, you combine the value of each card, then drop the first digit. For example: 5 + 8 = 13. So, you’d drop the 1 and your true value is then 3.
A player bet simply means you’re wagering on the hand dealt to the player. The return on this bet is typically 1:1.
This means that you’re wagering on the banker’s dealt hand to come closest to the target value of 9. If you bet and win with the banker’s hand, you’ll win 95% of your stake.
It’s important to note that the banker bet is considered the most favourable option. It presents the lowest house advantage which is why it’s the most popular betting option in Baccarat.
A tie bet means you’re wagering that the values of the player’s hand and banker’s hand will be the same. The odds of this happening are slim, with it usually only occurring once every 11 hands. If a tie bet does come in, you’ll typically be paid 8x your stake.
You can add another layer of fun to your gameplay by going for some immersive rounds of Baccarat through our Live Casino games.

So, should you choose to play online Baccarat or Live Baccarat at Grosvenor Casinos?
Even if there are great differences between them, they are both equally entertaining. Online Baccarat takes the form of an illustrated game, designed using software to represent a table with cards. The game functions just like traditional Baccarat but the outcomes are determined by a Random Number Generator.
On the other hand, Live Baccarat takes you to a real casino floor, with real wagers and real dealers. No RNG is involved, and outcomes are purely based on luck. It’s streamed to your mobile or desktop devices and you can play as if you were truly in the casino.
In the end, Baccarat is a game of pure chance and equally fun, regardless of the version you try.
To play online Baccarat, register at the online casino and start by picking the title that you wish to try.
