What’s up with Baccarat? (Part 2)

March 6, 2007

Continued from...

Most every online gambling sites that provides this casino game and especially land based casinos, have multiple tables. These different tables have different wager limits. Now, depending on the online gambling site, you may be able to find a lower minimum bet, but in most land casinos, the minimum wager is around $25. This is probably the main reason casino players feel they need a lot of cash to play and why many assume it is a game for the rich only. But if you can afford to bet on each round of play, the casino’s advantage in the game is about 1.2-1.4%. So, this is the casino game to play when you have a bit of a bankroll budget. This scenario makes some online gambling fans irritated because they feel it is another fine example as to how the rich can get richer. But, if you take a moment to consider that mentality it makes no sense really. So, if you have to save a bit to play this game – do it. Why not be smart about it. Instead of plugging quarters into a slot machine game (which take just as much thought as baccarat), save up and play the bigger minimum betting game of baccarat. While most online gambling sites may provide varying minimum wager games, you will not find any cheap games still.

Playing this game

When you log onto your favorite online casino to play this game it is simple to get started. When you swagger up to the table in Vegas or wherever else, you will see that this table may be roped off. It looks exclusive, but you are welcome to play it - do not run. You will see many observers as well.

Just like any other casino game, your first move will be to buy your chips. Let’s say the table minimum wager is fifty bucks. In this case, you will want to buy at least $ 100 in chips – this just enough for two rounds. This is okay considering you are trying for the first time right? Right. Before making any bets now, take a good look at the table’s layout.

If you are sitting in seat number 1, (Note: online gambling software is the same, but obviously automated and animated) you should see three spots to place wagers in. There are two casino employees (dealers), both sitting on the same side of the table; they are shuffling 8 decks of cards. For the time being, there is nothing for you to do. You can sit back and relax right now. After all, you will see the fat cats relaxing really well around you.

The action

After a short time, the dealers are done shuffling and the casino game action is underway. One of the dealers will hand you a plastic card and slides all 8 decks near you (you are sitting in the #1 position that is why). This is just the cutting of the cards. Just insert the plastic card into the deck somewhere and that will mark the cut.

After that, the dealer removes the first card from the shoe and shows it to the players at the table. Say it is a 6. No biggie right? Well, keep that thought for a moment. This means 6 more cards are removed from the deck. They go into the discard pile. So, if the first card was a 2 – then 2 cards would have been burned into the discard pile. This is a preventive move to stop cheaters and cheating.

Then, the shoe is placed in front of you. No worries here. This just means you are the banker. No worries again, you do not have to pay off the winners either. This just means that you are going to be in charge of the shoe right now.

Now that you are the banker playing this online casino game or in a casino on The Strip or where ever else you are, you have to make a bet. It is required of you as the bankers. You can bet on the bankers or players, most online gambling and land based gambling players will wager on the banker when they have the shoe. Meaning, most bankers wager on the banker bet. But, you do not have to be the banker if you do not want to be –you just pass it onto the next guy in line to be the banker (the player to your right).

Please be sure to continue this online gambling article as we will keep going with the game’s action there.
