What is Baccarat?

Baccarat is one of the oldest and most popular casino card games in the world — and the most played live dealer game among Australian online casino players. The game is simple: two hands are dealt (Player and Banker), and you bet on which hand will have a total closest to 9, or whether the result will be a Tie.

Unlike blackjack, there are no complex decisions to make. Once you place your bet, the dealer handles everything. Cards are drawn according to fixed rules and the result is determined automatically. This makes baccarat perfect for both complete beginners and seasoned casino players who want a fast, clean game.

Baccarat also has one of the lowest house edges of any casino game. The Banker bet carries a house edge of just 1.06% — making it one of the best value bets available at any casino table.

How to Play Baccarat — Complete Guide

The Basics

Baccarat is played between two hands — the Player and the Banker. You bet on which hand wins, or whether the result is a Tie. You do not play against the dealer — you simply predict the outcome.

Card Values
  • Aces = 1 point
  • Cards 2–9 = face value
  • 10, Jack, Queen, King = 0 points
  • If a hand total exceeds 9, only the second digit counts (e.g. 7 + 8 = 15 = 5)
Betting Options
Banker Bet
Pays 1:1 (minus 5% commission)
House edge: 1.06%

The most statistically favourable bet in baccarat. The Banker hand wins slightly more often than the Player hand due to drawing rules. A 5% commission is deducted from Banker wins.

Player Bet
Pays 1:1
House edge: 1.24%

A straightforward even-money bet with no commission. Slightly higher house edge than the Banker bet but still one of the best bets in the casino.

Tie Bet
Pays 8:1
House edge: 14.36%

A high-payout bet on both hands finishing with equal totals. The Tie bet carries a much higher house edge and is generally not recommended for regular play.

Drawing Rules (Third Card)

Third card drawing in baccarat follows strict automatic rules — no decisions are required from the player:

  • If either hand totals 8 or 9 (a natural), no more cards are drawn — the hand is complete
  • If the Player hand totals 0–5, the Player draws a third card
  • If the Player hand totals 6–7, the Player stands
  • The Banker draws or stands based on specific rules depending on the Banker total and the Player's third card

In live baccarat at Live77Bet, the dealer handles all card drawing automatically according to these rules.

Baccarat Variants at Live77Bet

Classic Baccarat
Most Popular

The standard version of live baccarat. Multiple tables with varying bet limits are available around the clock. Perfect for players of all experience levels. Includes Banker, Player and Tie betting options plus optional side bets.

Speed Baccarat
Fast Rounds

Speed Baccarat plays at approximately double the speed of standard baccarat. Cards are dealt face-up immediately and the betting window is shorter. Ideal for experienced players who prefer faster-paced action and more rounds per hour.

Squeeze Baccarat
Dramatic Experience

Squeeze Baccarat adds drama to each round as the dealer slowly reveals (squeezes) the cards face down before turning them over. The reveal builds tension and creates an immersive experience that closely replicates the atmosphere of high-end Asian VIP baccarat rooms.

Baccarat Strategy for Australian Players

Always Bet Banker

The single best baccarat strategy for consistent play is to always bet on the Banker. With a house edge of just 1.06%, the Banker bet wins more often than the Player bet over time. Despite the 5% commission on Banker wins, it remains the statistically superior bet.

Avoid the Tie Bet

While the Tie bet pays 8:1, its house edge of 14.36% makes it one of the worst bets in the casino. Experienced baccarat players avoid the Tie bet for regular play — it should be treated as an occasional side bet only.

Set a Session Budget

Baccarat is a game of chance with no skill-based decisions after placing your bet. Set a clear session budget before you start and stick to it. Avoid chasing losses — the Banker and Player odds remain constant throughout every round.

Ignore Scorecards and Patterns

Many baccarat tables display road maps and scorecards showing previous results. While interesting to look at, past results have no influence on future outcomes. Each round is completely independent. Betting systems based on patterns have no statistical advantage.
