Launched in June 2009, Smart Live Casino baccarat follows its
blackjack and roulette offerings as a 'made for tv' game presented for play via
the website cast as well as via subscriber television channels. At the
time of writing, the game was telecast on Freesat and SKY channels for UK
viewers. No doubt this will will expand to Freeview and possibly free to air
channels in the UK and perhaps even further afield in the future.
The game interface is no-fuss but effective with bet
instructions and prompts all clear and intuitive. A not so impressive game
graphic displays the dealt cards clearly in virtual form in case you can't see
the actual cards on the table. As with Smart's blackjack and roulette
games, we experienced a consistent and noticeable lag between the video stream
and virtual graphic display, which is disconcerting but not the end of the
world.
On the positive side, this is one of the few live baccarat
games available for free or guest play. You are not even required to
register an account in order to play in in 'free-play' mode which is a great
feature allowing for game and interface familiarization before choosing to play
with real money.
Time between deals is a swift 15 seconds so wait times are
not a problem especially given no player decisions are required during the deal
so total waiting time per bet round is really negligible - even for the most
impatient players.
It should be noted that this game is not available for play
24/7. In fact, at the time of writing it was being broadcast for the 2
hours from 10pm to 12pm (GMT) only. Hopefully this will be expanded
shortly.

Smart Live's baccarat
Follows the typical interface format with an inset video that you are
able to expand to full screen view.
Table graphic is less than impressive but does it's job. What
you may find annoying is the lag between the real deal and the graphical
representation of that deal.
