Baccarat is a card game with a long disputed history. Its origins argumentatively derive from either France or Italy ; the fact that baccarat is a dialectal Italian word for "zero" implies the latter. After various rule evolutions the Baccarat we know arrived in Nevada in the 1950's, since then its popularity has grown to become a popular casino game online and one of the most popular at Littlewoods online casino.

The aim of Baccarat is to gain a total value of 9 with your hand. However in the game of baccarat you can bet on the dealers hand to be closer to 9, your hand to be closer to 9 or you can even bet on a tie between the two hands.

How to Play Baccarat

Before the cards are dealt in Baccarat you must decide how much you would like to bet. As with other card games at Littlewoods online casino your chips are stacked by denomination (£1, £5, £25, £100, £500) at the bottom of the game window. Left clicking will increase your wager amount and right clicking removes your wager from the table. Your total bet will be displayed in the 'bet' just below Username. You may repeat your last bet by clicking on the 'rebet' button or by simply hitting the "0" button of your numeric keyboard.

Once you have decided how much to bet you click the 'deal' button. Four cards will be dealt; 2 make the bankers hand, 2 make your hand. Before they were dealt you betted upon which hand you think will be closer to the value of 9. You also have the option of betting on the two hands being a tie. The hand total is made up of the card values, example:
