How to Play Baccarat 5: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you haven’t played a game of Baccarat before, you will see that it is relatively easy to understand how the rounds go. As a player, your task is to pick a bet to place.

• Fire up Baccarat 5: Enter the live casino section at Casino Days, look for the Baccarat 5 title, or type the game's name in the search bar. Click on the icon to enter the live table.
• Choose Your Bet: Once you enter the live table, choose which bet you want to place. You have 3 initial options, including Player, Banker, or Tie.
• Pick the Bet Amount: Once you choose a bet, enter the amount you want to wager. You can choose between $0.20 up to $5,000.
• Cards are Dealt: The dealer will start by dealing 4 initial cards, 2 for the player and 2 for the banker. According to the game rules, a third card may also be dealt in some instances.
• End of Round: Both hands are calculated, and the higher hand wins. If you placed the correct bet, your winnings will be paid out instantly, and the following round starts right after.

Game Rules and Betting Options

The Player or Banker bet will be on the winning side if their hand value is closer to 9. Unlike most other card games, Baccarat has different values for the playing cards. All face cards, including J, Q, and K, count as 0 points, as do the 10s. The A gives 1 point, while cards for 2 to 9 hold their original value.

At the start of a round, you can choose from 3 initial bets: Player, Banker, or Tie. For example, you place a Player bet, and if the 2 cards have a value of 8 or 9, called natural, you win the round. The round can end in a Tie if both the Player and Banker cards have a value of 6,7,8 or 9.

Special Features

Besides the initial 3 bets that you can place on Baccarat 5, several special features or side bets can come into play. Here are some of the side bets available on Baccarat 5:

• Player/Banker Pair—With this side bet, you can wager on whether the initial 2 cards dealt form a pair. For example, if the 2 cards dealt are a 7 of clubs and a 7 of diamonds, the suit or colour doesn’t matter as long as the value is the same.
• Perfect Pair – A Perfect Pair side bet is wagering on the 2 cards dealt coming out with identical suits, colour, and value. For example, two 7’s of hearts.
• Either Pair – Wager that a pair will land in the round without choosing the Player or Banker hand.
• Player/Banker Bonus - This type of side bet pays out if the Player or Banker side wins with a natural 8 or 9 or by at least 4 points.
