Casino Plus Baccarat

Baccarat is a simple casino card game where gamblers can easily win by sticking to one of the three main bets, with one bet naturally having an edge over the other bets. Casino Plus makes this simple casino game more exciting by adding a jackpot amount. All Casino Plus baccarat tables are in-house games and players will be able to choose from a standard baccarat game or no commission.

The goal of the game is to bet on the hand that will get the highest value hand.

General Rules of Live Baccarat

The general rules of Casino Plus baccarat games are the following:

  • Player bets on either Player or Banker hand to get a higher value
  • Both hands are dealt two cards each and a third card is dealt depending on initial hand value
  • Hand closest to “9” wins
  • Side bets exist to add bet varieties and allow gamblers to participate in the jackpot.

General Rules: Available Baccarat Tables and Rule Differences

Casino Plus Commission Baccarat

Casino Plus offers two different baccarat games, with some small differences in the gameplay. The main difference is that the regular baccarat game has a Banker bet that charges a 5% commission for every win while the Super 6 baccarat game doesn’t charge a commission except for Banker bets that win with a 6 which is 50% instead of the standard 5%.

General Rules: Baccarat Bets and Payouts

Casino Plus baccarat tables offer the following bets:

  • Player bet – 1:1 payout
  • Banker bet – 0.95:1 payout for standard tables and 1:1 payout for Super 6 tables
  • Tie bet – 8:1 payout
  • Player Pair or Banker Pair – 11:1 payout
  • Super6 – 12:1 payout for Super 6 tables only

Baccarat is a fairly easy-to-win casino game and the easy-to-win bets have low payouts so the aim here is to get winning streaks to win big. Participating in the jackpot is also ideal to try and win big, but this can be costly so bettors should try and cover for the cost with higher bets on either Player or Banker.

General Rules: Baccarat Card Values

All baccarat cards are given a two-digit value with only the second digit being read. Aces are valued at “01” with only the second digit being read and all other number cards are valued and read similarly. 10s and face cards are valued at “10” and read as “0” and the sum of the two initial cards’ values are read as the initial value of the hand. In certain circumstances, a hand will get dealt a third card.

General Rules: Baccarat Third Card Drawing Rules

Depending on the initial hand value, a third card will be drawn for one or both hands. The Third Card Rules Chart is as follows:

Casino Plus Baccarat Jackpots

Casino Plus No Commission Baccarat

Gamblers who aim for jackpots will need to place bets on Tie, Banker Pair, and Player Pair bets and the first drawn cards must be 8s. The jackpot itself is contested between multiple Casino Pus baccarat tables and jackpot is credited to the first table that wins and all winnings are shared across multiple gamblers. In the case of a single winner, the lone winner will get the entire jackpot amount.

The different jackpots and their winning conditions are the following:

Grand Jackpot: Suited Pair

Pays out when both Player and Banker hands are dealt a suited pair of 8s. Both hands having the same suit is not necessary. Because the chances of getting a Tie outcome and both hands getting 8s is low, winning the Grand Jackpot is rare as getting suited 8s is rarer than just getting 8s.

The initial jackpot is worth PHP 100,000.

Minor Jackpot: Pair

Pays out when both Player and Banker hands are dealt a pair of 8s regardless of the suit. This jackpot is more commonly won than the Grand Jackpot.

The initial jackpot is worth PHP 10,000.

Top Tips to Win at Live Baccarat

Casino Plus baccarat game and events

Baccarat is a straightforward game with a decent chance of players winning real money, even if the payout is low. The main goal here to win big is to win consistently and profit from winning streaks. The easiest ways to win are by doing the following:

  • Stick to either the banker or player bet
  • Avoid the tie bet

The Banker bet is weighted to have an advantage over the Player bet thanks to the third card drawing rules only requiring the banker to be dealt a third card for their advantage. The different betting systems that players can use while using the Banker or player bet are the following:

Martingale Betting System

Martingale is a negative progression betting system where players will double their bets every time they lose and restart the sequence once they win. This system is useful to chase losses safely, except when the player racks up too many losses that they can no longer afford to double another bet. The progression using one betting unit as a base is presented below:

1 – 2 – 4 – 8 – 16 – 32 – 64 – 128 – 256 – 512 – 1024 – 2048 – 4096

The system can be used with either the Player or Banker bet regardless if the table is a Commission or No Commission table, mainly because the 5% commission is negligible enough to negatively affect a gambler’s winnings through the system. The only potential downside is betting on Banker and Banker winning with a 6 in No Commission tables.

1-3-2-4 Betting System

1-3-2-4 is a simple positive progression system built which follows a four-step sequence. The name itself represents the betting units used in the system. The steps are the following:

  1. Bet one unit on an even money bet until the player wins.
  2. Bet three units. If the player loses, they go back to step one.
  3. Bet two units. If the player loses, they go back to step one.
  4. Bet four units. If the player loses, they go back to step one.

The system can be used with either the Player or Banker bet since the 5% commission is negligible enough to negatively affect the gambler’s winnings, with the exception of the 50% charge for winning Banker bets with a 6.

Fibonacci Roulette System

Fibonacci is a negative progression betting system where gamblers will follow the Fibonacci sequence to base their bets with. The sequence starts from 1 and 1 and the next number of the sequence is the sum of these two numbers and the next number is the sum of the second and third number. The sequence looks like the following:

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377…

Gamblers will follow the sequence per loss to regain their losses after winning. Winning while following the sequence will require the player to go back two numbers down the sequence until they go back to the first number in the sequence. Because of how the sequence works, using the Banker bet will allow bettors to win relatively big regardless of the commission.

Participate in the Jackpot

If the player can afford it, they should try participating on the jackpot by betting on Tie, Player Pair, and Banker Pair. They’ll a small chance of winning the Minor Jackpot and even not winning it still gives players a chance to win using one or more of the side bets.

Conclusion

Baccarat is a simple casino card game that’s fairly easy to win when sticking either of the two main bets. The only downside is the low payouts per bet but the goal anyway is to get winning streaks for big wins.
