LIVE BACCARAT
Live Baccarat sets the standard for one of the most exciting live casino table games available online. Your personal dealer is waiting to start the hand! Live Baccarat plays exactly the same as traditional Baccarat, with the Player trying to beat the Banker (dealer) by having a hand value closest to 9. The game is played with eight decks of 52 cards, and prior to each deal the player can wager on whose hand will win. You can even bet on the Banker’s hand! Even though it’s very easy to understand and play, Baccarat has many different bet types and payout options, making it the perfect choice for live players that want a less complicated game that still features big payouts.
RULES
The game is hosted by a dealer and is played with eight standard 52-card decks. Card values are as follows:
- Aces are the lowest cards and are worth 1 point each.
- Cards from 2 to 9 are worth their numerical face values.
- 10s and face cards (jacks, queens, and kings) are each worth 0.
- Only the numeric value of each card is relevant in the main Baccarat game; Each card’s suit (hearts, spades, clubs, or diamonds) is irrelevant.
- Prior to each deal, you must place your bet on whether the Player or the Banker will win the round by having the hand with a value closest to 9. You also have the option to bet that the round will end in a Tie, which occurs when both the Player and Banker hold hands of equal value.
- The dealer begins by dealing two cards each to the Player and to the Banker.
- Two hands are dealt in Baccarat: one hand to the Player and one hand to the Banker.
- If the Player and Banker hold hands of equal value, the round ends in a tie. The Tie bet wins, and bets on the Player and Banker push (are returned).
- Each hand’s value is calculated by dropping the tens digit in a hand otherwise worth 11 or more. For example, a 7 and a 9 is only worth 6 in Baccarat (because 16-10=6). Similarly, a face card plus a 9 will be worth 9.
- If the Player or the Banker receives an initial two-card hand worth 8 or a 9 (a “natural” 8 or 9), no additional cards will be dealt to either hand.
- If the Player and Banker receive initial two-card hands worth 0-7, the “Third Card Rule” is consulted to determine if a third card is to be dealt to either hand or both hands. The Player always goes first.
PLAYER’S INITIAL TWO-CARD HAND |
0-1-2-3-4-5 |
Player draws a third card |
6-7 |
Player stands |
8-9 (a “natural”) |
No third card to either hand |
If the Player’s hand stands on a 6 or 7, then a Banker hand totaling 3, 4 or 5 must draw, while a Banker hand totaling 6 must stand. Whoever gets the hand closest to a total of 9 wins.
The BET LIMITS panel displays the minimum and maximum stakes permitted on the table in total.
You will be notified on screen if you attempt to place a bet that exceeds the limit for that type of bet. If you place a bet that is less than the minimum limit, your bet will be rejected when the betting time has expired. If you place several bets and only some of them are less than the minimum limit, only the bets that do not meet minimum requirements will be rejected.
To participate in the game, you must have sufficient funds to cover your bets. You can see your current BALANCE on your screen.
LIVE BLACKJACK
Live casino blackjack includes a real blackjack table and actual decks of cards shuffled and dealt by a live blackjack dealer. Banter with the dealer and other players as you wager using the game interface, and play at the same relaxed rate you would at a real casino.
The objective of LIVE BLACKJACK is to achieve a higher card count than the dealer, but without going over 21. The best hand is Blackjack – when the sum of values of the first two dealt cards is exactly 21. You compete only against the dealer, not against other players.
- Dealer always stands on 17.
- Double Down on any 2 initial cards.
- Split initial cards of equal value.
- Only one Split per hand.
- Single card to each Split Ace.
- No Double Down after Split.
- Insurance offered when dealer shows an Ace.
- Blackjack pays 3 to 2.
- Insurance pays 2 to 1.
- Push game when hands tie.
- The table’s name and bet limits are shown beneath the table icon.
RULES
- The game is hosted by a dealer and allows up to 7 players.
- Cards from 2 to 10 are worth their face value.
- Face cards (Jacks, Queens, and Kings) are each worth 10.
- Aces are worth 1 or 11, whichever is more favorable to the hand. Note that a soft hand includes an Ace worth 11.
- After the allotted betting time has expired, the dealer deals one card face up to each player. Dealing starts with the first player to the dealer’s left and continues clockwise, ending with the dealer. The dealer then deals a second card face-up to each player and face-down to himself. The value of your initial hand is displayed next to your cards.
Blackjack
If the value of your original two-card hand is exactly 21, you have Blackjack!
Insurance
If the dealer’s upcard is an Ace, you are given the option to purchase insurance to offset the risk that the dealer has blackjack – even when you have blackjack yourself. The amount of insurance is equal to one half of your main bet, and the insurance bet is settled separately from the bet on your hand. The dealer then peeks at the value of his downcard to check for blackjack. If the dealer does not have blackjack, the round continues. If the dealer has blackjack, but you do not, the dealer’s hand wins. If you and the dealer both have blackjack, the game ends in a push and your bet are returned. Note that when the dealer’s upcard is a ten or face card, you will be given no option to purchase insurance, and the dealer will not peek at his down-card to check for blackjack.
Double Down, Hit or Stand
When the dealer does not have blackjack upon checking his two initial cards, players are given the chance to improve the values of their hands in turn, as the dealer moves clockwise around the table.
If the value of your initial hand is not 21, you can decide to Double Down. In this case, you will double your bet and be dealt only one additional card to add to your hand. Alternatively, you can decide to Hit to be dealt an additional card to add to the value of your hand. You can hit more than once to receive additional cards before you decide to Stand once you are satisfied with the value of your hand.
Split
If your initial hand is a pair of cards that are equal value, you can decide to Split the pair to make two separate hands, each with a separate bet equal to your main bet. After a second card is dealt to both your hands, you can improve the value of these two hands by using the hit option before you stand. However, if you split an initial pair of Aces, you will receive only one additional card per hand with no option to hit.
Outcome
If the sum of your hand exceeds 21, you bust and lose your bet on that hand.
When all players have taken their turns, the dealer reveals the value of his downcard. The dealer must hit on a hand of 16 or less and must stand on a hand of soft 17 or more.
You win when the value of your final hand is closer to 21 than the dealer’s or when the dealer busts. If the value of your hand is the same as the dealer’s, the game round ends in a push and your bet is returned.
Blackjack beats a hand of 21 comprised of three or more cards. Blackjack also beats a hand of 21 resulting from a split pair.
AUTO ROULETTE
Roulette is one of the most iconic casino games. At Egaon777.com, we offer a wide variety of our best online Roulette games, and all those in-between. The objective of the game is simple; you must place a bet on the roulette wheel exactly where you think the ball will land. Place inside bets or outside bets, it’s your call player!
The objective in ROULETTE is to predict the number on which the ball will land by placing one or more bets that cover that particular number. The wheel includes the numbers 1-36 plus a single 0 (or two zeros in American roulette). After the time allotted for betting has expired, the dealer releases the spinning ball within the roulette wheel. The ball will eventually come to rest in one of the numbered pockets within the wheel. You win if you have placed a bet that covers that particular number.

You can place many kinds of bets on the Roulette table. Each type of bet covers a certain range of numbers, and each type has its own payout rate.

SIC BO
Sic Bo uses three dice, which are picked up by the dealer in a small chest. The dealer then uses the chest to shake the dice, until he or she is ready to reveal the combination of the three dice. If the dealer rolls the combination you wagered on, then you’re a winner.
Sic Bo revolves around a table that lists a variety of dice combinations that players are able to bet on. It is important to keep in mind that the table layout may vary from place to place, but the objective remains the same; players are able to wager on the available dice combinations listed on the table. Each combination has a certain chance of being rolled, and players must use this knowledge to help make educated decisions when placing their wagers.
Available Bets for Sic Bo
As the name suggests Sic Bo, or hi-lo, offers both high and low bets. Like craps, players can bet on as many combinations as they choose. The two most common bets are small, which means the sum of the
dice falls between 4-10, and big, which means the sum of the dice falls between 11-17. The following are available bets when playing Sic Bo:
Big – The sum of the dice falls between 11 and 17. As mentioned before this is one of the most popular bets when playing Sic Bo. This particular bet excludes any 3 of a kind; for example three 1s, three 2s, etc.
This particular bet has a 48.6% probability and pays 1:1
Small – The sum of the dice falls between 4 and 10. Like the big, this bet also excludes triples and has a 48.6% probability of winning, with a 1:1 payout.
Odd – This sum of the dice will be an odd number. This bet also excludes triples and pays 1:1. The probability of the odd bet winning is 48.6%.
Even – The sum of the dice will be an even number, excluding triples. This bet pays 1:1 with a 48.6% chance of winning.
Specific Triples or Alls – A specific number appears on all three dice. This bet has only a 0.46% chance of winning and pays anywhere from 150:1 to 215:1, depending on the country you are playing in.
Specific Doubles – A specific number appears on at least two of the three dice. This bet has a 7.41% chance of winning and pays between 8:1 and 11:1, depending on the country you are playing in.
Any Triple – This bet wins if the three dice land on the same number. This bet has a 2.8% chance of winning and usually pays 30:1.
Three Dice Total – This bet is actually a number of different bets that are based on the sum of the dice.
The table usually lists these bets as a range of numbers, for example 4 or 17. When placing this bet you are expecting the dice to equal a sum that falls between that range. The odds and payout for this bet vary based on the range you are betting on, and different tables offer different ranges.
Dice Combinations – This bet wins if two of the dice show a specific combination of two numbers, such as a 2 and a 5. This bet has a 13.9% probability of winning and pays 6:1.
Single Dice Bet – A single dice bet is placed on a specific number from 1-6 to appear on one, two, or all three dice. Betting on a number to appear once has a 34.72% probability of winning, twice a 6.94% probability, and three times a 0.46% probability. These bets pay 1:1, 2:2, and 3:3 respectively.
Four Number Combination – This bet allows players to wager on any of the following four number combinations: 6, 5, 4, 3; 6, 5, 3, 2; 5, 4, 3, 2; or 4, 3, 2, 1. To win three of the four numbers must appear
on the three dice. The probability of this bet winning are 11.1% and this bet pays 7:1.
Three Single Number Combination – The dice will show a combination of three different numbers. This wager has a 2.8% chance of winning and pays 30:1
Specific Double and Single Number Combination – this is also a combination of three numbers, but instead of three different numbers it includes two of a kind and a different third number, for example 1-
1-3. This bet has 1.4% probability of winning and has a pay out of 50:1 or 60:1, depending on where you are playing.
As always, it is important to make sure you understand the betting options available at the casino you are playing at. The house edge can vary from casino to casino and, as discussed previously, so can the payout for each bet. The house edge is the percentage of your winnings the casino garnishes as profit.
Generally speaking, the higher probability bets have a lower house edge and the lower probability bets have a higher house edge.
