Baccarat game types and bonuses

Baccarat game is one of the easiest options to master. This casino game is based on pure luck, but it is still possible for you to improve your winning odds at the table. Regardless of the types of baccarat that you are playing, you should bet only on yourself or the bank.

The casinos offer many variations of the game and they are played in different places around the world. Some of the common options will be mentioned below.

Types of Baccarat

Chemin de fer is an early version that is played in French casinos. The bank can bet only on his hand in order to win when playing this game. The bank must pay out all the winnings to players and the casino normally takes 5% commission on from the bank's earnings. In this game, both the bank and the player can draw or stand on the fifth.

Next, you have the European Baccarat in which the bank takes turns between players instead of the casino's dealer. A player can opt for a draw or stand of 5 and the bank don’t have to adhere to the complex third card rules. Instead, the bank can withdraw or stand at their sole discretion. If the players win from their bets, they are still required to pay the casino a percentage of the commission.

Baccarat en banque is another variation and in this game the bank function is carried out by the casino’s dealer. Besides that, an extra hand is given to play. A player can bet on both, except for the bank's hand. There is no strict third card rule for the bank, which means standing or drawing can be done.

The Mini Baccarat will be the final type here and for this version betting can be done on the player, tie or the bank. The dealer will deal two hands with the same amount of cards and players have to decide where and what to bet. The winning bank hands normally pay out a 5% commission. Of all the different types of baccarat, this one is less intimidating with its easier structure and lower minimum bets.
