Well, it’s the American version of the game in Real Time Gaming’s Baccarat online version and so you know how it goes: Essentially, the player bets on whether the hand of the “banker” or the his/her own will be closer in value to nine points; the player may also wager on a tie between the two hands, which collects a payout of 9/1.
This online baccarat works somewhat like blackjack, except that, frustratingly, all decisions on whether to hit or not are done automatically. And there you have it. Except it should probably be stated somewhere that the folks at RTG invite you to “step behind the velvet ropes into a simple and elegant world of gaming that you’re sure to appreciate.”
