Speed Baccarat by Evolution Gaming

Have you ever felt like traditional live baccarat tables are a touch too slow? If so, then Evolution Gaming has the perfect game for you! Speed Baccarat is the same title we all love to play. However, minor optimisations have been made to make sure each round goes as quickly as possible.

Speed Baccarat is live streamed directly from the developers’ own studio. You can see other baccarat tables being played in the background. The video quality is fantastic and adapts based on your internet connection. The dealers are skilled and pleasant.

Each round starts with the betting period. During this time, you need to select your coin value and place it on the wager you want to make. Be quick about it, since Speed Baccarat’s timer is must faster than other live baccarat tables! If you are uncertain what to play, Evolution Gaming’s user interface allows you to see what other punters are wagering on.

When betting ends, the dealer will draw two cards for both banker and player. All cards are immediately drawn face up, to save time on each round. The side that comes closest to a natural eight or nine will win the round. The drawn cards determine the value of each hand.

If neither side has won after the first two cards are drawn, the game proceeds to the next step. The player hand draws its third card first, and only does so if the hand value is five or less. Whether the banker hand will draw a third card depends on the player hand’s third card and the banker hand’s value. Like all releases by this developer, you can track results of previous rounds in the bottom right corner.

Players have access to three main bets in Speed Baccarat. Banker bets are more likely to win, but pay slightly less as a result. They are worth 0.95:1. Player bets pay the full 1:1 reward, but are less likely to be won compared to banker bets. Tie bets are the rarest, and pay 8:1 in the off chance you get it right.

B and P bonus side bets reward punters for beating the other hand by four or more points. The bigger the point difference, the better the payout. It caps at 30:1 for a nine point difference.

There are also several pair bonuses. For P and B pair, you need the pair to appear in the corresponding hand. In both cases, you will receive an 11:1 payout.

For the Either pair side bet, you just need a pair to appear on either side of the table. It is the easiest to win, and only pays 5:1. Perfect pairs requires both cards to have the same colour and suit. It pays 25:1 for one perfect pair, and 200:1 if you get a perfect pair in both hands at the same time!
