Play Live Baccarat Online at Casino.com NZ

Live Baccarat is one of our online casino's most popular live casino games. This is probably due to the fact that there is such a central role attributed to the dealer. It is also a game that you play against other people -- and as we all know, it's more exciting to play games with live people than with computerised one!

Learning How to Play Baccarat Live

Live baccarat has the same rules and a similar history as regular baccarat. First the dealer will deal cards to both the "player" and the "banker" -- two different entities. (The "player" in this case is not you but more of a conceptual player.)

Then the players (that is, the actual players -- you and the other people playing live baccarat) will place their bids on whether the player or the banker will get cards closest to 9 points. After you place your bet, the dealer will give out two additional cards each to the banker and player.

The total points are calculated and the winner takes home the pot.

Baccarat Points for Live Casino Baccarat

• Ace = 1 point
• 10s = 0 points
• Face cards (Jack, Queen, and King) = 0 points
• 2 through 9 = actual value

For example, a hand of a Jack, an Ace, a 3, and a 4 would equal 8 points.
