Whether you're a baccarat beginner trying to understand the basics or an experienced master of the game trying to test out your latest strategy

We invite you to play for fun on my baccarat trainer before risking real money in a casino or on your mobile. This is one of our proudest games where at the Wizard of Odds. We strived to make it as realistic as possible.

Here are some of the features we hope you enjoy:

• With the menu bar at the top, the player can choose to play mini baccarat style where all the cards are dealt quickly by the dealer or 'big table' style where the player turns over the cards one at a time. There is also a hybrid where the player only turns over any third cards to be dealt himself. To turn over a card, just click 'deal'.
• View a realistic history board. Have you ever wondered what all those red and blue circles and lines mean on a baccarat scoreboard? We did too before creating this game. Whether you care about the Bead Plate, Big Road, Small Road, Big Eye Boy, or the Cockroach Pig, our scoreboard has it all. For a written explanation of how each work, please see my page on Baccarat Score Boards.
• View out statistics board for a summary of the last shoe. Here you'll find the percentage of Banker, Player, and Tie bets. You'll also get something no casino will give you, the house edge of the same three bets based on the exact composition of the remaining cards. Sometimes the player will have the edge late in the shoe. Finally, for you card counters out there, we make it easy by showing you how many of each rank are left in the shoe.

Your bankroll is generously started with $10,000. The minimum bet is only $5 and the sky is the limit in terms of a maximum.

We challenge you to get your bankroll to the point where you're betting $25,000 chips. Are you up for it!

We feel our game plays almost like the real thing. However, here you won't have to suffer second-hand smoke or players pounding the table yelling 'monkey!'

Maybe it is better than playing for real money -- decide for yourself.

With the introductions out of the way, the only thing left to do is….get down to business play.

Here at the Wizard of Odds we don't believe in luck so we wish your results to fall on the right side of the bell curve.

Online Baccarat Bonuses

A lot of sites tend to overlook baccarat bonuses, but we know there is a strong and dedicated following that love the game, and we set out to form the following table for the best baccarat bonuses. This table is sorted using the bonus amount, wagering requirement, and quality of casino, among other factors.

Mini-baccarat is a smaller, lower-stakes version of punto bancobaccarat. Mini-baccarat is different in that it is generally lower limits, the player does not get to pick up the cards, and that the table is smaller in size. Mini-baccarat is popular in many casinos, especially among Asian gamblers.^[1][2][3]

Mini-baccarat is a comparing card game played between two hands, the 'player' and the 'banker'. Each baccarat coup has three possible outcomes: 'player' (player has the higher score), 'banker' (banker has the high score), and 'tie'. It is strictly a game of chance, with no skill or strategy involved; each player's moves are forced by the cards the player is dealt.

Valuation of hands[edit]

In mini-baccarat, cards have a point value: cards two through nine are worth face value (in points); tens, jacks, queens and kings have no point value (i.e. are worth zero); aces are worth 1 point; jokers are not used. Hands are valued according to the rightmost digit of the sum of their constituent cards. If the total of the cards is a two-digit number, the tens place is ignored.^[4] For example, a hand consisting of 2 and 3 is worth 5, but a hand consisting of 6 and 7 is worth 3 (i.e., the 3 being the rightmost digit in the combined points total of 13).^[5] The highest possible hand value in baccarat is therefore nine.

Tableau of drawing rules[edit]

The player and banker hands are each dealt two cards. If either the player or banker hand, or both, achieve a total of 8 or 9 with the first two cards (known as a 'natural'), the coup is finished and the result is announced: player wins, banker wins, or tie. Natural 9 beats natural 8. If neither the player nor banker hand is dealt a total of 8 or 9 in the first two cards, the tableau is consulted, first for the player rules, then the banker rules.

• Player's rules

If the player hand has an initial total of 0–5, a third card is dealt. If the player hand has an initial total of 6 or 7, it stands.

• Banker's rule

If the player stood pat (i.e., has only two cards), the banker acts according to the same rules as the player. That means the banker draws a third card with hands 0–5 and stands with 6 or 7.

If the player hand drew a third card, the banker acts according to the following more complex rules:

• If the banker total is 2 or less, then the banker draws a card, regardless of what the player's third card is.
• If the banker total is 3, then the bank draws a third card unless the player's third card was an 8.
• If the banker total is 4, then the bank draws a third card if the player's third card was 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
• If the banker total is 5, then the bank draws a third card if the player's third card was 4, 5, 6, or 7.
• If the banker total is 6, then the bank draws a third card if the player's third card was a 6 or 7.
• If the banker total is 7, then the banker stands.^[6][7]

If a bettor bets on tie and the hands tie, the bettor wins 8:1 or 9:1 depending on the house rules.
