Play Baccarat
If you would like to play baccarat at most online casinos the version
that you will generally find is one called mini-baccarat.
What is it and how do you play? Mini-baccarat is fundamentally the same
game as standard casino baccarat, with the omission that players do not
take turns being the banker. The mini baccarat table is about the same
size as a standard blackjack felt, and makes use of just one dealer who
manages to take care of every feature of the game from their central location.
An advantage to you and I with mini-baccarat is that the 'high roller'
prospects are discarded. You can dress as casual as you like, and the
table minimums are nowhere near what you find behind the velvet ropes.
These days, if you don't play online, baccarat can be hard to find in
Vegas and Atlantic City. In Vegas, only the major casinos offer baccarat
anymore. At the MGM Grand, the minimums were either $500 or $1000; not
exactly pocket change to some. The Stardust advertises a $25 minimum
table, but I've never seen it. Shackelford points out that the Silver
Legacy casino in Reno offers baccarat with a $10 minimum.
Opportunely for us, mini-baccarat has become more predominant in Vegas
of late. $10 minimum tables are no longer difficult to find. Since it's
unlikely online casinos would have much luck with $100 table minimums
on baccarat, but you will still occasionally find a higher minimum than
other games. |
