Online High-Limit Baccarat

Play High-Limit Baccarat Online

Just like regular online baccarat, online high-limit baccarat is an online casino card game that is easy to learn and fun to play. The limits are high, the betting options are expanded, and the excitement is palpable when you play high-limit baccarat online.

How to Play High-Limit Baccarat

Online high-limit baccarat is played with 8 decks of cards that are shuffled after every game. Two cards — and sometimes a third card — are dealt to each of two imaginary entities known as The Player and The Banker. Your role is to bet on which of the two will get the higher baccarat hand, or that the hands will tie.

The Online High-Limit Baccarat Rules

The high-limit baccarat cards are counted in the normal way, except that Aces are always worth 1, and tens, jacks, queens and kings are worth 0.

When you add up the cards in a baccarat hand, it is only the final digit that matters. If the cards add up to 16, it counts as 6. If they add up to 22, it counts as 2.

The Player and the Banker both receive two cards at the outset of the baccarat game. Sometimes the Player or the Banker or both of them will receive a third card. This is not a game of online blackjack — there is no free choice to hit or stand. Instead, the third card is dealt or not dealt according to the strict baccarat rules that are programmed into the online baccarat software.

Placing Your Online High-Limit Baccarat Bet

Don't make the mistake of thinking of yourself as The Player just because you are playing baccarat, or thinking of the casino as The Banker just because it is holding your money in your online casino account. The Player and the Banker are just names given to the two imaginary entities sitting at the virtual baccarat table. You are free to bet on whichever one you want, or to bet on a tie.

You may also make a Combination Bet by betting on the Player and a Tie, or on the Banker and a Tie. This option is unique to high-limit baccarat and is not available in regular online baccarat.

The minimum bet is 1 credit, making high-limit baccarat an online casino game that is easily accessible to any budget. The maximum bet is 500 credits, or, on a combination bet, 1,000 credits. That's why they call it high-limit baccarat.

Winning at Online High-Limit Baccarat

If you bet on the Player and the Player's hand wins the baccarat game, you win a 1-to-1 payout on your bet. If you bet on the Player and the hands tie, your bet is returned to you with no gain and no loss.

If you bet on the Banker and the Banker's hand wins the game of baccarat, you win a 1-to-1 payout minus a 5 percent commission to the house. (This is because the Banker's hand wins more often statistically than the Player's hand). If you bet on the Banker and the hands tie, your bet is returned to you with neither gain nor loss.

If you bet on Tie and the hands do in fact tie, you win an 8-to-1 payout on your bet.
