Baccarat is without question one of the most exciting games ever invented – but live baccarat is even better. That’s why I made doubly sure the Live Dealer baccarat games here at Joe Fortune are the best around. If our online casino is going to have my name on it, this had better be the No. 1 place to play live baccarat in Australia.

I remember not that long ago when I had to travel far from home just to play real money baccarat. Now I can play right here in the glorious Land of Oz. Let me show you how easy it is to get started.

How to play live baccarat for real money in Australia?

Baccarat is an especially good game for newcomers because you don’t have to worry about strategy. This is the punto banco version of baccarat, so the decisions about which plays to make are performed automatically for you. All you have to decide is how much to bet, and which of your three betting options to take: the Player (punto), the Banker (banco), or the Tie.

Each hand of baccarat starts with the Player and Banker receiving two cards, face-up. Paint cards (Jacks, Queens and Kings) are worth zero points, and all other cards are face value. The object of baccarat is to have the higher-scoring hand.

To determine a hand’s score, add the values of the two cards together, and strike off the digit in the “tens” column, leaving you with a score between 0 and 9. For example, if you’re dealt a Six and a Nine, that adds up to 15, so your hand is worth 5.

Depending on the cards dealt, either the Player or Banker – or both – might receive a third card to potentially improve their hand. Then that’s it; the final scores are tabulated, and the winning bets are paid out as follows:

• Player 1-1
• Banker 1-1, minus a 5% commission
• Tie 9-1

The Banker payout may be a bit smaller than it is for the Player, but the rules of baccarat make it slightly easier for the Banker to win. Again, you don’t have to worry about learning all these rules to play – just open your free account at Joe Fortune if you haven’t already, make your first deposit with us, and decide how much to bet on either the Player, Banker or Tie. Your Live Dealer will take care of the rest.

What are the live baccarat games you can play at Joe Fortune?

When you hit that Live Casino tab at Joe Fortune, you’ll see which live baccarat games are running, and which dealers are at the tables. Choose your preferred dealer and stakes. You can play for small or big stakes.

In addition to standard baccarat, we have Live Dealer Super 6 on the menu here at Joe Fortune. This is a baccarat variant where Banker bets pay out at even money, without the 5% commission attached – unless the Banker wins with a 6, in which case the payout is halved.

You can also place a side bet in Super 6 that pays out at 12-1 if the Banker has a 6. Side bets are a big part of what makes live baccarat so much fun. Our Live Dealer games also give you the option to tip your dealers for the quality service they provide, making it even more like playing at a bricks-and-mortar casino.

You can find out more about both Live Dealer Baccarat and Super 6 by consulting our FAQ and Help guides at Joe Fortune. Your dealer will also be more than happy to help you with any questions you might have while the game is in progress.
