Classic Baccarat is a Baccarat game offered by Playtech games provider.

The game of Classic Baccarat is similar in nature to progressive baccarat but without the ability to win the progressive prize. If you love playing baccarat, then this is the game for the purist.

Essentially classic Baccarat is incredibly simple to play. Six decks of fifty-two cards are used in the game and the aim of the game is to make up a points count of nine, using a points system. Number cards count as their face value, kings, queens and jacks count as 0 and aces count as 1 point.

For example, if you receive two cards a queen and a 9, you will have mad baccarat. However if you receive two number cards such as a 8 and a 7, you will ad these numbers together to get 15 and use the last digit in the two digit number, this being 5. If the dealer has a closer number to nine than your five, you lose.

Three bets can be placed in the game and they pay different odds. The bets are on the house or bankers hand, the players hand and for a tie. Both the house and the players bet is paid at a ratio of 2 to 1 and the tie bet pays 9 to 1 being more difficult to achieve.
