Playing Baccarat at Canada’s online casinos

How to play Canada online casino baccarat
Online casino’s baccarat is a really simple card game where very little strategy needs to be applied. Similar to the popular game of Roulette you will have to choose what you want to bet on and in the case of casino online baccarat that would be the Banker, the Player, or a tie. It must be noted however that the Banker does not represent the casino and the Player does not represent you, the player. They just symbolize two different hands. Payouts for betting on the Banker or Player are the same, 1/1 whereas if you bet on a tie the payout is at 9/1 as this hardly ever happens.
Before the cards are dealt you will need to place a real cash bet on whom you think will win; Banker or Player. Once you have placed your real money bet the dealer will deal two cards to both the Banker and Player. The object of the game is to get the total of your cards as close to 9 as possible and the rules of online casino’s baccarat are fairly straightforward. Tens and face cards (Jack, Queen and King) have a 0 value, aces have a value of 1, and number cards are worth their face value. Once the cards are dealt the two cards are added together and if the total is more than 10 then 10 is subtracted giving you a new total. For example, if the Banker’s hand is 9 and 8 the Banker’s total will be 17 which will add up to a 7 point hand. In this case the Player’s cards would need to have an 8 or 9 point hand in order to win. If the Player’s hand also totals at 7 points this is a tie in which case neither hand wins or loses. A natural win is when either an 8 or 9 point hand is dealt for the Banker or the Player, and this is an immediate win and the game is over.
Canadian’s online baccarat beginner’s strategy
If you are playing the exciting game of online casino baccarat for the first time then our Canada Online Casino experts suggest that you place your real money bet on the Banker as a beginner’s strategy. The reason for this is that the Banker has a slight edge on the Player as he makes his play after the player. The difference of edge is 1.17% on the Banker and 1.36% on the Player.
