Today saw the launch of Evolution's new Baccarat Squeeze table.
Attachment 3540
The new baccarat table is presented in multi-camera ... 17 HD cameras!
In other words, much in the same vein as Evolution's Immersive Roulette with the dealers slowly revealing the cards.
Table has the new User Interface as also used on the Caribbean poker table.
Currently the only place you'll be able to see the new table format is in William Hill's private Macau area.
Evolution also plan to go live with a new multi-camera generic baccarat table (available for all licensees) by the end of January 2016.
There's also a new private casino area coming soon at Evolution and my spider senses are suggesting a push for Asian players (including a language table) ... so possible contenders for another private Squeeze table :confused:.
some of the camera angles from William Hill's Baccarat Squeeze table ...

Great pics Fester!
Presumably player(s) with highest stake on Player and/or Banker position gets the exclusive look at the close-up squeeze view for that respective position, ie...

All players get to see all squeezes. And the dealers do it very well.Quote:

You're right there. All bent up. A few of the dealers were having trouble placing the used cards in the hopper and on a couple of occasions during the shoe change there were cards stuffed sideways in the hopper as if the dealer had forced them in.Quote:

Attachment 3554 ... here the Banker hand has higher total stake and is squeezed.
In the rarer circumstance of equal stake on both hand all cards are squeezed.
As Bod said all players see the squeeze.

LOL, William Hill pit bosses already referring to Macau Baccarat Squeeze table simply as Immersive Baccarat.
Attachment 3556 ... :)
The Evolution squeeze is different to other live dealer squeeze tables like Ptech VIP baccarat (vid below), where a single player (highest staking) gets to see (and instruct) the squeeze exclusively for the Banker or Player position...as typically happens at the baccarat tables in bricks and mortar casinos in Macau.Quote:

Of course none of this changes the game outcome.
It will be interesting to see how players (partial to squeezing) respond to this difference. High rollers may feel a little jibbed. Then and again, low rollers may enjoy being a part of it ???
Time will tell I guess

Personally I like the squeeze, just adds a bit to the game. I don't play Baccarat that often but it's something that will probably maintain my interest a bit longer.
I naturally do a squeeze or slow reveal when playing 3 card poker in land based casinos, just add a little tension to the game.
A small graphical change to Evolution's 'next generation' baccarat tables (currently just Will Hill's 2 private tables)...
Today they changed the game history table symbols from P/B/T

Looks like they are going all-in now to steal Playtech's (and so on) Asian customers ;)
A video look at Evolution's squeeze baccarat..

More squeezing at Evolution... a new Baccarat Controlled Squeeze table is now open.
With the controlled table the player does the 'virtual' squeeze.
quick look at the Controlled Squeeze on iPad,

Bit of a closer look at Controlled squeeze baccarat here
Worth noting, all players get to control their own virtual squeeze...not just the highest staking player to that position...as I incorrectly assumed would be the case before playing the game.Quote:

Not on the Evolution table.
