Shuffling
Game-play continues until the cut card is dealt. The current round will be continued using the current shoe. Subsequently the game is paused until a new shuffled shoe is brought to the table and Burning Cards Procedure is made (see relevant section).
Each shoe has 8 decks of cards.
Burning Cards Procedure
Happens when a new shoe starts. A burned card is a playing card dealt from the top of a shoe, and discarded ("burned"), unseen by the players. Dealer draws the first card from the new shoe, the value of this card decides the amount of card that will be burned before the first use of that shoe.
Dealing
The live dealer is responsible for dealing the cards in every hand. The dealer will initially deal two face-up cards to each the Player and the Banker. The values of these two hands will be compared, after which a third card may be dealt to the Player, the Banker or both.
Hand Values
In Baccarat, an ace is worth 1, all face cards and tens are worth 0, and other cards (2-9) are worth their face values. If the cards in a hand add up to 10 or more, 10 is subtracted from the hand to give its final Baccarat point value. This means that 9 is the highest achievable value in Baccarat, and the hand closest to 9 wins. The best hand is thus a two-card hand worth 9, called a natural. The second-best hand is a natural 8.
Third Card Rules
The dealer will sometimes deal a third card to the Player, the Banker or both depending on their respective two-card hands. If either the Player or the Banker has a natural 8 or 9, neither receives a third card. This rule overrides any other third card rule.
- If the Player’s hand is 5 or less, the Player receives a third card (i.e. hits). Otherwise, the Player stands.
- If the Player stands and the Banker’s hand is 5 or less, the Banker hits.
- If the Player hits, the value of the Player’s third card and the value of the Banker’s two-card hand determines if the Banker hits as indicated in the chart below (H=hits, S=stands):
The player wins the round if his bet was placed on the hand closest to 9. In the event of a tie, all bets placed on the Player and Banker are returned in a “push”.
Side Bets
It is possible to give the Baccarat player additional betting opportunities in each round even if player doesn't place main bet:
- Player Pair, Banker Pair side bets win if the first two cards form a pair, for example a 5 of Spades and a 5 of Diamonds.
- Either Pair side bet wins if the first two cards on either the “Banker” or the “Player” hand (or both) form any pair on that hand.
- Perfect Pair side bet wins if the first two “Player” or “Banker” cards form a pair of the same suit, for example a pair of 7 of Diamonds.
- Big side bet wins if the total number of cards dealt between “Player” and “Banker” is 5 or 6.
- Small side bet wins if the total number of cards dealt between “Player” and “Banker” is 4
Roadmaps
Many players appreciate the ability to view the results of past Baccarat rounds to look for patterns in an effort to devise a personal strategy of making better predictions in future rounds. For this purpose, it is possible to give the player access to traditional Macau-style scorecards that systematically display the results of previous rounds. Scorecards have traditional names such as the “Big Eye Boy Road”, the “Small Road” and the “Cockroach Road”. The player simply clicks on the appropriate tab to open the desired scorecard.

Big Road
This is the main road and it is the road that all other roads are derived from.
The big road is fairly simple. It is a grid, six rows deep by twenty columns wide (I've seen as few as 36 columns and as many as 50 columns, but it doesn't really matter). When recording the big road, a hollow red circle represents a banker win, and a hollow blue circle represents a player win.
When the shoe begins, the first result (banker or player, ignore ties for now) is written in the top left corner of the big road. If the second result is the same side as the first, it goes under the first, and as long as the winning side (banker or player) remains the same, circles of the same colour continue down vertically.
When the 'other side' comes up, a new column is started, and the process continues through the entire shoe in this fashion. As a result, the big road becomes a series of columns of alternating blue and red hollow circles, with a minimum height of one circle, and no maximum height. Each time the result changes sides between banker and player, a new column is used, so each column corresponds to a run or 'streak', allowing easy comparison of the length of streaks.
Ties are not displayed as a separate circle, but simply as a number across the most recent circle drawn, the number indicates the number of consecutive ties. If a tie comes up before there has been any banker or player result yet in the shoe, the number is drawn in the very top left cell in the grid, and then when the first banker or player result is known, that circle is written in the same cell under the number.
Pairs are displayed with a dot on the edge of the circle (red dot for banker pair, blue dot for Player pair). On some displays, natural winners are displayed with a yellow dot in the middle of the circle.
-
Bead Plate
Red means banker, blue means player and green means tie, and the symbols used are solid coloured circles representing the result. The first symbol appears in the top left corner of the grid and the road fills down vertically through all six cells of the column, before moving to the second column and those six cells are filled in, and so on. There is no moving to a new column until the previous column is filled, irrespective of the result of each hand.
-
Derived roads
The derived roads are made up of red and blue symbols: hollow circles for big eye boy, solid circles for the small road, and slashes for the cockroach road. The blue and red do not represent banker/player, but rather represent the state of the shoe. There are no special markings corresponding with ties, pairs or naturals. The derived roads only concern themselves with trends and patterns of banker and player results. The derived roads do not begin with a new shoe, but once it starts, an additional red or blue symbol will be added to that derived road after every hand.
-
Big Eye Boy
* Initiates when the hand after the first hand in the second column of the big road.
* Columns alternate between streaks of red and blue (with a minimum of one row, and no maximum)
* Upon hitting the bottom of the grid (or an occupied cell due to an earlier dragon), the streak of red or blue turns right to create a dragon
* If the grid runs out of room to the right, the entire road scrolls left and the column on the far left drops off the screen.
-
Small Road
Initiates when the hand after the first hand in the third column of the big road. Similar to the Big Eye Boy except it skips the column to the left of the current column in the Big Road.To have enough information to go on, the Small Road must wait until the entry after the first entry in the third column of the Big Road.
-
Cockroach Pig
Initiates when the hand after the first hand in the fourth column of the big road.

Take a Seat
You enter the Blackjack game by selecting any vacant seat around the game table. You can take up to three different seats at the table to play up to three different hands against the dealer in each round.
Bet Placing
Before the initial deal, you must place a bet within the allowed time. A timer indicates the number of betting seconds that remain. The minimum and maximum bets permitted in the game for each betting alternative are also presented on the sign to the right of the dealer.
If by any reasons your connection is closed while bet was placed, your bet wins will not be lost and you will win the prize.
The “Bet Behind” Function
The Bet Behind feature allows you to bet on a hand dealt to another player. You will share the outcome of the other player’s hand. The payouts for Bet Behind wagers are the same as for ordinary bets. You can use this feature whether or not you are seated at the table and intend to play your own hand. However, you cannot place a Bet Behind bet on your own hand. Place a bet in any activated Bet Behind field on another player’s seat while betting time is open in order to bet behind that hand.
Shuffling
Game-play continues until the cut card is dealt. The current round will be continued using the current shoe. Subsequently the game is paused until a new shuffled shoe is brought to the table and Burning Cards Procedure is made (see relevant section).
Each shoe has 8 decks of cards.
Burning Cards Procedure
Happens when a new shoe starts. A burned card is a playing card dealt from the top of a shoe, and discarded ("burned"), unused by the players. Dealer draws the first card from the new shoe, the value of this card decides the amount of card that will be burned before the first use of that shoe.
Dealing
After the dealer announces, “No more bets”, all players and the dealer receive two cards each. Players’ cards are dealt face up, while the first dealer card is dealt face up and the second face down. In Blackjack, face cards count as 10, aces as either 1 or 11, and other cards according to their numerical values. A Blackjack results when the first two dealt cards yields a hand that equals 21 (i.e. an ace plus a 10-value card.). If you get Blackjack, but the dealer does not, you win 1.5 times the initial bet. If both get Blackjack, the game is a “push” and your initial bet is returned.
Insurance
If the dealer’s up card is an ace, the player has the option of placing an additional side bet to guard against the risk of the dealer winning with Blackjack. The player clicks “Insurance” to purchase insurance, whereby he/she places an additional side bet equal to half the initial Blackjack bet. If the dealer has Blackjack, the player wins twice the insurance bet. If the dealer does not have Blackjack, the player loses the insurance bet, and the game proceeds.
Hit or Stand
Starting with the player sitting furthest to the right of the table, the dealer asks each player in turn how they wish to play their hands. If a hand is less than 21, the player can click “HIT” to receive an additional card and then another until satisfied with the value of the hand, whereby the player clicks “STAND”. If the hand exceeds 21 (“busts”), the player automatically loses.
- The dealer must take an additional card when the value of his/her hand is 16 or less and must stand on all hands of 17 or more;
- The dealer must take an additional card when the value of his/her hand is 16 or less and must hit on soft 17;
The dealer loses the game with a hand that exceeds 21. If the player’s final hand has a value closer to 21 than the dealer’s, the player wins even money on his initial bet.
The player has an option to decide whether they want to hit/stand before their turn using the pre-decision buttons.
Split
When the player’s first two cards are of equal value, he/she has the option to “SPLIT” them into two separate hands that are played separately. The player thus agrees to place an additional bet of equal value on the second hand. If the player splits two aces into separate hands, he/she will receive only one additional card per hand. Blackjack is not possible in these cases. Splitting is permitted only once per round.
Double Down
The button doubles the player’s main bet and the player receives just one (and only one) additional card.
Tip: Mostly used when the player’s first two cards equal 9, 10 or 11, and a third card is likely to result in a hand that beats the dealer’s
Side Bets
21+3 based on player’s first two cards and the dealer’s first faced up card. Player is wagering that his first two cards and dealer’s first card will form one of 3 card poker combinations like:
- Straight flush – when all 3 cards are from one suit and arranged in sequence
- 3 of a kind - when there are three cards of the same rank in on hand
- Straight – when all 3 cards are arranged in sequence, but with different suits
- Flush - when all 3 cards are of the same suit, but not in sequence.
Perfect pair side bet is based on player’s first two cards which must be identical.

Game Rules
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.
After betting time has expired, the ball is spun 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.
Bets Placing
In each round, the ball will land on a number between 0 and 36. There are many different types of bets in roulette; each covering one or up to 18 different numbers. The most potentially lucrative bet is a straight-up bet on a single number, which pays 35:1.
The player clicks on a chip of the desired denomination and then on the specific area of the roulette table where he/she wishes to place the chip—either within a defined square or on the line that covers the adjacent numbers desired.
The game makes it easy for players to place bets on traditional roulette number combinations. When players click the NEIGHBOR BETS button, they view a circular, track-like betting area with number placements that mimic those on the roulette wheel. A click on any number on the track will place a bet on that number plus the two numbers immediately to the right and the left of it. A click on Tier, Orphelins or Voisins du zero will place bets on all adjacent numbers on that particular third of the roulette wheel.
If by any reasons your connection is closed while bet was placed, your bet wins will not be lost and you will win the prize.
Bet Types
You can place many different 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.
Bets that are made on the numbered space or on the lines between them are called Inside Bets, while the bets made on the special boxes below and to the left of the board are called Outside Bets.
- Straight Up - place your chip directly on any single number (including zero).
- Split Bet - place your chip on the line between any two numbers, either on the vertical or horizontal.
- Street Bet - place your chip at the end of any row of numbers. A street bet covers three numbers.
- Corner Bet - place your chip at the corner where four numbers meet. All four numbers are covered.
- Line Bet - place your chip at the end of two rows on the intersection between them. A line bet covers all the numbers in both rows, for a total of six numbers.
- Column Bet - place your chip in one of the boxes marked "2 to 1" at the end of the column that covers all 12 numbers in that column. The zero is not covered by any column bet.
- Dozen Bet - place your chip in one of the three boxes marked "1st 12", "2nd 12" or "3rd 12" to cover the twelve numbers above it.
- Red/Black - place your chip on the Red or Black box to cover the 18 red or black numbers. The zero is not covered by these bets.
- Even/Odd - place your chip in one of these boxes to cover the 18 even or odd numbers. The zero is not covered by these bets.
- 1-18/19-36 - place your chip on either of these boxes to cover the first or latter 18 numbers. The zero is not covered by these bets.
Neighbour Bets
Click the NEIGHBOUR BETS button to view a special oval-shaped betting area that allows you to more easily place neighbour bets and other special bets - *not applicable in Mobile. Re-click the button to close/re-open this feature.
Each bet covers a different set of numbers and offers different payout odds. When you hover your cursor over any neighbour bet or special bet on the racetrack, the spots on the betting table where chips would be placed are highlighted. Simply click the bet to place these chips.
Statistics
Many roulette players may appreciate the ability to view the results of previous rounds in an effort to make better predictions. The numbers that won in the ten most recent rounds are listed under “Recent Numbers” on the right side of the game screen. The player can also click the “Statistics” tab to view a list of hot numbers (those that have won most often) and cold numbers (those that have won least often) - *not applicable in Mobile. The player can also see a diagram in the form of a roulette wheel that depicts the number of times each number has won.
