Different types on Online Baccarat
When you start playing Online Baccarat and Live Dealer Baccarat you will soon discover that there are several different types of the game. Below you can learn more about these different variants of Online Baccarat.
Punto Banco
Punto Banco is a Baccarat Game that you will find at most Online Casinos in Canada. Punto Banco is widely popular, especially in Canada. The word Punto Banco stands for “Player Banker”. Which is what the game is all about. You either bet on the Player or the Banker (or a Tie). The House Edge when you play Punto Banco is 1.06%. That’s a really low House Edge which is why many players prefer this variant of Online Baccarat. Significant for Punto Banco is that if the initial total is five or lower, the player needs to draw a third card. The same applies for the Banker.
European Baccarat
European Baccarat is an Online Baccarat Game where the player has more options than in Punto Banco. This is why many Canadians that plays Blackjack, also enjoy playing European Baccarat. In European Baccarat both the Banker and the Player have the option to either draw a third card, or stand, on a total of five.
Chemin de Fer
In this variant of Online Baccarat you get to enjoy a faster pace but the game also requires more participants. Chemin de Fer is played with at least eight players. This is the most popular variant of Online Baccarat in France. Chemin de Fer is played with six decks of cards and different players have the role of the Banker each round. The Bankers role is to set the amount in the bet while the other players get to be against this bet.
Lightning Baccarat
In Lightning Baccarat you have the chance to win a lot more than in ordinary Baccarat. In this game you can win eight times your stake. Although the game also has a fee of 20%. This fee is deducted from the total bet of the player. When the bets are made in Lightning Baccarat a Lightning Round will start and if you have a winning hand and succeeds to match one or more of your cards with a Lightning Card your payout will be multiplied.
