The below games are all based on baccarat.
A standard real card baccarat deal to the Player and Banker positions. Regular third card rules applying. The familiar, closest to 9 win condition deciding outcomes.
But they all include pretty major departures from standard baccarat game. Departures so significant we didn’t think it right to list them on the live baccarat page.
Key among these departures is the introduction RNG (random number generator) or computer generated elements changing the payout structure. More specifically, adding payout multipliers into the mix.
Computer Generated Random Multipliers
The combining of a physical baccarat card deal and computer generated random multipliers is a concept that has proven popular with players.
Evolution’s Lightning Baccarat was the first live baccarat to offer random multipliers. All of a sudden you could win a payout up to 512:1 for a Player or Banker win, rather than just even money or 0.95:1.
Enticing for some.
Lightning Baccarat with computer selected multiplier cards to supersize payouts
There are now a handful of baccarat tables with random multipliers applying, including Lightning Baccarat, Golden Wealth Baccarat, Emperor Speed Baccarat and Mega Baccarat.
Plenty more are on the way, including Evolution’s planned 2023 releases of XXXtreme Lightning Baccarat and Prosperity Tree Baccarat.
Other significant rule departures
Peek Baccarat from Evolution lets you double or triple your bet during the deal, after a peek at the cards. You pay a 20% commission direct to the house on every Player of Banker bet for this privilege.
On Playtech’s Bet On Baccarat, Banker and Player bets are lost (not pushed) in the case of a Tie – a small change that make s big different to the games theoretical return!
