Live Baccarat by Vivo Gaming

Thanks to the internet, the world is now connected in ways we never thought possible. This has allowed most people to experience things they never would be able to otherwise. It has also led to the rise of new games that challenge the dominance of existing favourites, like baccarat.

Vivo Gaming’s Live Baccarat is streamed directly from their studio. You can see other games played in the background, which adds to the feel of being in a casino.

Baccarat starts with a betting round. Here, you will be asked to place bets on the three main bets, or one of eight possible side bets. The three main bets are player, tie and banker.

When you are done placing bets, the round begins. The dealer will draw two cards for both the player and the banker. The sum of these two cards gives us a hand value. The value that is closer to eight or nine will win the round. Any card with a higher value than nine is worth zero points.

If needed, a third card will be drawn on either side. For players, the third card will be drawn if their hand value is five or less. Bankers draw a third card depending on the player’s third card and their own hand value.

Vivo Gaming’s Live Baccarat allows you to make three main bets. Either the banker or player hands will win, or it will be a tie. If the banker bet wins, you will have to pay a 5% commission fee, lowering your prize.

Player bets are less likely to win due to baccarat rules. As such, it pays even money and does not have a commission fee. Tie bets are quite rare but will pay 8:1 if you guess them correctly.

Big and Small side bets target the value of the cards on the table. If the player and banker cards equal four, you win the Small side bet. If they equal five or six, then you win the Big side bet. This is assuming you wagered on them first, of course. Small pays 3:2, while Big pays 0.54:1.

Either Pair pays if the first two cards in the player or banker hands form a pair. This side bet rewards a 5:1 payout if won.

If the first two cards in the either of the two hands create a suited pair, you score a Perfect Pairs win! You earn 25:1 by winning this side bet.

Banker and Player Pairs side bets grant money if you get a pair in either the banker or the player’s hand, respectively. In both cases, the payout is 11:1.

Finally, we have Player and Banker Bonus. These side bets reward you when your side wins by a certain amount over the other. The best possible payout is beating the enemy by nine points, which pays 30:1.
