Rules of table game Baccarat Pro Series

Overview

The Baccarat Pro Series offers players with a professional version of the traditional Baccarat game. It is one of the most exciting table games offered by Netent Gaming. The game is based on the traditional Baccarat rules and offers players with a 9:1 payout in case of a tie. The game is played between the player and the online casino and allows players to place a combination of bets or a single bet. The Baccarat Pro Series offers players with a superb RTP of 98.96%, something that ensures that players have a chance of winning huge sums of money for themselves.

Before you proceed

The main aim of the players in the Baccarat Professional Series is to predict the highest hand or a tie. The game is played with 8 standard decks and the cards are shuffled before each and every round. All payouts are made as per the Paytable. There are three gaming modes available for different types of players – the Low Roller, the Standard Player and the High Roller. This ensures that players can play the game as per their personal bet preferences and not be limited by the coin limits present. There is a free demo mode as well for those who wish to test the game play before playing with real money. All number cards are counted at their face value, the 10s, jacks, queens and kings count as 0 and aces count as 1. If the value of a hand exceeds 10, 10 is subtracted from the hand total. For example, a hand of 19 automatically becomes 9.

Game Basics

To begin the game, players need to place a bet or a combination of bets in any of the betting areas. The players and the banker are then dealt with two or three cards, depending on the third card rules. According to the third card rules, if a player or the banker has 8 or 9 in their hands, the hand is considered to be natural and the hand needs to stand. If a player does not have a 8 or 9, the game proceeds to the third card. If players have a hand of 0 – 5, a third card is dealt. If players have a hand of 6 or 7, they need to stay their hand. Once players stay their hand, the banker needs to pick a third card if their hand is between 0 – 5. If the player draws a third card, its value determines whether the banker needs to draw a third card or not. The winner is determined by comparing the hand values of the player and the banker. The hand that comes the closest to 9 wins the game. If the hand is a tie, neither party wins the game.
