First Person Baccarat

Players have access to six Baccarat tables and six No Commission tables. All our normal side bets, including the Super 6 bet on No Commission tables, are available.

First Person Baccarat offers players a VIP seat at the table with full control of the game. Bets are placed directly on the table which makes the game even more realistic. There is no rush, take as long as you need when placing bets. You decide when it’s time to draw the cards by clicking on the ‘DEAL’ button.

It’s easy to change to another table if you don’t like the trends at a particular table. Navigate between tables via the Multi Table View or choose another table in the

Baccarat hall. You can also easily sort the tables by the longest streak for your chosen road.

You can have a number of hands dealt to a specific table for free to build trends. Choose to deal free hands or shuffle the deck at your table, or at all tables at once. After each shuffle, you are prompted to cut the deck if you want. There are exactly eight decks in the shoe and cards are burned after each shuffle.

The Red Envelope bonus feature is also available for First Person Baccarat.

First Person Baccarat comes with the unique ‘GO LIVE’ button that takes you directly to our Live Baccarat games.

BET ON PLAYER, BANKER AND TIE

Prior to each deal, the player can wager on whether the Player’s hand or the Banker’s hand will win by being closest to 9.

The player also has the option to wager on a Tie (i.e. both the Banker’s and Player’s hands will total the same).

THE INITIAL DEAL AND CALCULATING THE VALUE OF EACH HAND

After the betting time period has expired, the Player and Banker are dealt two cards.

• Aces count as 1
• Aces count as 1 Cards from 2 to 9 are worth their numerical face values
• 10 and face cards (King, Queen, Jack) are each worth zero.

If the initial value of the hand is 10 or higher, then 10 is subtracted from the total and the figure remaining is the value of the hand.

EXAMPLE BACCARAT HANDS

• 9+7 = 16 (= hand value of 6)
• 5+5+5 = 15 (= hand value of 5) 
• 10+9 = 19 (= ‘Natural’ 9)

THE THIRD CARD RULE

After the first two cards are dealt to both the Player and Banker, the ‘Third Card Rule’ will determine if a third card is to be dealt. No hand receives more than three cards. 

When the Player and Banker hands equal the same total, the hand is declared a Tie. If the value of the cards in either the Player’s hand or the Banker’s hand is an 8 or a 9 (a ‘Natural’) after receiving their initial two cards, then no more cards shall be dealt to either hand. 

If the value of the cards in either hand on the first two cards is 0 to 7 inclusive, the hands shall draw in accordance with the ‘Third Card Rule’. All ‘How to Play’ information plus full details of the ‘Third Card Rule’ can be accessed by players at the live table via the Help button in the toolbar.

RED ENVELOPE

Red Envelope is an unexpected bonus that may sometimes be generated on either the Tie, Banker Pair or Player Pair bet spots by increasing the payout up to 88x. One, two or three Red Envelopes can be generated for the same round, and they can all have different increased payout values. 

The Red Envelopes are generated after betting time has expired. All three bet spots may receive a Red Envelope and an increased payout at the same time. 

The Tie bet can get an increased payout of between 11x and 88x, the Banker Pair or Player Pair bet spot can receive an increased payout of between 15x to 88x. Each time the Red Envelope happens, an animation will be visible on the relevant bet spot, showing a Red Envelope together with a randomly generated increased payout. 

If the player’s bet is placed on a bet spot with a Red Envelope, and if the player won on that bet, the player will receive the higher payout. For example, if the Tie bet spot received a Red Envelope with an 88x payout, your winnings will be multiplied with 88x if you win on this bet spot. 

The maximum bet limit for the Tie and Pair’s bet will be lowered to 20% of today’s max limit. The Red Envelope feature is available on all Baccarat tables, except for Lightning Baccarat and Dual Play Baccarat. 

Free games support Red Envelope. If the player plays with bonus money and wins with a Red Envelope, the payout is given to the player as bonus money.
