Live baccarat played on the Vuetec platform is no frills live
gaming without any features that will blow you away...just a simple (clear but
clunky) interface that is effective but certainly not impressive.
Baccarat dealt with a real casino
What is however impressive, or if not impressive certainly
unique compared with other major platforms, is the fact that you are playing a
game of baccarat that is being dealt by a dealer in a real 'bricks and mortar'
casino - Dublin's largest (by square footage) casino - the Fitzwilliam Card Club
and Casino.
This does add a degree of realism to the game, but also
provides many limitations in the platform provider's ability to engage you in
the game by tailoring vision and dealer interactivity to make you feel as though
you are sitting at the baccarat table. The vision and playability of the
game here is certainly not as aesthetically engaging as
Evolution Gaming's baccarat for
example, where you can be forgiven for feeling as though you are sitting at the
baccarat table in front of the dealer.
The Java powered bet interface is workman like and easy to
find your way around but not spectacular in terms of the animated graphics.
Similarly, the quality of the video stream is sub-par compared with other live
baccarat games.
Free play
A big tick in the box is given for this feature. Free
play is a great way to familiarize yourself with the game and is not offered at
most other live baccarat games. Take a while to play with free money
before playing for real. You do not even have to register an account to do
this.
Features
- Free play option available;
- Browser play: available in Java, no download required (apart from Java applet);
- History: full bet history available;
- Time between deals: 20 seconds;
- Variety of bet ranges: see baccarat limits
page.

Live baccarat from the Fitzwilliam Card
Club - place your bets
The less than impressive, but nevertheless intuitive and easy to use
bet interface provided by Vuetec.
One nice feature is the ability to detach the video and view it as a
separate window that you can enlarge to full screen view (not that the
video quality effectively supports this!)

Live baccarat from the Fitzwilliam Card
Club
On completion of the deal the camera automatically zooms in on the
table to display the cards. As this is a real casino, normal cards
are used rather than the nice oversize cards used in purpose built live
dealer studios. |
