Online Baccarat is one of the most popular online casino games. Majority of the online casinos have online baccarat in their games menu. Playing Online Baccarat is extremely simple. There are a few basis rules that one needs to follow while playing online baccarat.

While betting in online baccarat, you have three options. You can bet on the player’s hand, banker’s hand or you can bet on a tie. You have the option of betting any amount of your choice between the table minimum and table maximum.

Player’s hand
While betting on the player’s hand, you place your gaming chips on the player area at the front. For winning the bet, the player’s hand at the end of the betting round after all the dealing and drawing has been done is greater than the dealer’s hand. You get the money without being charged any commission. The bet has 1.29% as house edge.

Banker’s hand
For placing a bet on the banker’s hand, you have to place the gaming chips in the banker area in the front. If the banker’s hand is greater than the player’s hand at the end of round then you win the bet. You get paid even money and the casino charges 5% as commission fees on the winning amount. To prevent the game from becoming slow, the dealer leaves the “vigorish” as it is after every round. While betting on the banker’s hand, the casino gets an advantage of 1.01%. This makes it the lowest house advantage in all the casino games.

Tie
When you put your chips in the “Tie” area, you are placing your bet on a tie. You can even place a bet on a tie by placing the chips on a number corresponding to your seat number. The bets on banker’s hand and player’s hand are returned in case of a tie. You have the option of leaving the bet as it is for the next round or increase/decrease it.
