Baccarat Controlled Squeeze by Evolution Gaming

Just because our favourite games are moving online does not mean we cannot keep some old traditions going! Slowly peeling the edges of each card, revealing them bit by bit and hoping for a good draw. If you hope to summon luck through this time-honoured arcane method, then we suggest you try out Evolution Gaming’s Baccarat Controlled Squeeze.

The game is streamed directly from the developer’s Riga studio. This allows for unparalleled video quality, which can adjust depending on your internet speed.

You are given a few seconds to place your bets as you like. Choose one of the available coin values, and place them on the board as you see fit. Evolution Gaming added indicators to the three main bets. Using them, you can see what wagers other punters are playing. This is great if you are still learning the game and need help deciding what to pick!

After betting is complete, the dealer will draw two cards. You are given fifteen seconds to peel them back to reveal them early. After the time expires, the dealer will flip them around, and draw third cards if necessary. You get fifteen seconds to flip them around, as well! Winning is determined by how close your hand gets to eight or nine without going over.

For player hands, a third card is drawn if their hand score is five or less. Meanwhile, banker third cards are drawn depending on their own hand score and the player’s third card. In the bottom right corner, you will see the results of several previous rounds.

Players can wager on three main bets in Baccarat Controlled Squeeze. Banker bets are most likely to win, which is why they are subject to a 5% commission. That means a banker bet will pay 0.95:1. Player wins pay the standard 1:1, while the rare tie wagers pay 8:1 when won.

B and P bonuses pay if their respective hands win the round by at least four points. The bigger the point difference, the better the payout! With a nine point difference, you are looking at a 30:1 reward.

B and P pair side bets award prizes if their respective hands get a pair as their first two cards. Both pay 11:1 if won.

You can also play Either Pair and Perfect Pair. Either Pair just wants you to form a pair with your first two cards, without caring for specific hands. As a result, it pays 5:1. Perfect Pair also does not have if Banker or Player hands form the pair. However, it requires you to have a matching colour and suit to win. It pays 25:1 for one hand, and 200:1 if both hands are perfect pairs.
