Amazing Baccarat
Introduction
Amazing Baccarat is a premium version of Speed Baccarat that follows the rules of classic baccarat and includes lucky cards with multipliers to increase winnings.
The goal is to guess who will win (the Player or the Bank) with a hand closest to 9.
In addition to the main bets and the Player's Pair and Banker's Pair side bets, you can also place the Fantastic 8 side bet , unique to this game.
How to play
To play, select a stake amount and place it on one or more of the main bets: Player, Banker, or Tie. You can then place side bets: Player's Pair, Banker's Pair, or Fantastic 8.
A 20% bonus will be added to your stake. For example, if your stake is 10, the bonus will be 2 and your total stake will be 12. Bonuses are not included when calculating minimum and maximum stake limits.
You can place bets or modify your bets until the timer runs out.
After the betting for the round closes, 5 lucky cards are chosen and displayed on the screen.
A matching number of gold coins appearing in the background reveal random multiplier values: 2x , 3x , 5x , 8x , 10x , 20x , 50x , 100x or 200x .

Each lucky card is randomly assigned one of the multipliers. The multiplier's gold coin will appear on the screen above the lucky card.

Next, the dealer deals 4 initial cards in the following order: 1st and 3rd card to the Player and 2nd and 4th card to the Banker.
If either side needs a third card, the dealer deals this additional card according to the Third Card Rule , which is explained below.
Once all the necessary cards have been dealt to each hand, the round ends. The side with the hand closest to 9 wins. If the value of both hands is equal, the round ends in a tie.
Winning bet points are highlighted and you receive your payout based on the type of bet you made.
If the winning hand contains a lucky card, the multiplier is applied to your base winnings.
If the winning hand contains more than one lucky card, the multipliers are added together and the total is applied to your base winnings.
Your total earnings will be displayed on the screen.
When the game round is over, all the cards on the table are collected and discarded, and the betting for the next round is opened.
Value of the cards
The game is played with 8 standard decks of 52 cards.
Only the numerical value of each card is taken into account to determine the point value of a hand.
| Cards | TO | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | J | Q | K |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Points | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
The value of the Player's and Banker's hands is calculated by adding the points of the cards.
The maximum possible score is 9. The value of each hand is calculated by subtracting ten points from a hand that would otherwise be worth 10 or more.
For example:
5 + 5 = 10 – 10 = 0
8 + 7 = 15 – 10 = 5
J + K = 0
A + 5 + 8 = 14 – 10 = 4
8 + Q = 8
9 + 9 = 18 – 10 = 8
The third card rule
There are three cases in which a game round ends after dealing 4 cards (small hand) without the need for additional cards:
- The first two cards of the Player or the Bank add up to 8 or 9 points in total (natural hand).
- The Player scores 6 points and the Bank 7 or vice versa.
- There is a tie with 6, 7, 8 or 9 points.
If the Player and the Banker receive an initial two-card hand with a value of 0–7, the Third Card Rule is consulted to determine whether the third card is dealt to either hand. The Player always goes first.
To steal the Player's hand:
| If the Player's two cards add up to: | Action |
|---|---|
| 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 | The Player draws a third card |
| 6, 7 | The player stands his ground. |
| 8, 9 (Natural) | They both stand up |
So that he steals from the bank:
| Two initial cards from the Bank | Value of the third card the Player draws | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| There is no third letter | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | |
| 0 | R | R | R | R | R | R | R | R | R | R | R |
| 1 | R | R | R | R | R | R | R | R | R | R | R |
| 2 | R | R | R | R | R | R | R | R | R | R | R |
| 3 | R | R | R | R | R | R | R | R | R | P | R |
| 4 | R | P | P | R | R | R | R | R | R | P | P |
| 5 | R | P | P | P | P | R | R | R | R | P | P |
| 6 | P | P | P | P | P | P | P | R | R | P | P |
| 7 | P | P | P | P | P | P | P | P | P | P | P |
| 8 | P | P | P | P | P | P | P | P | P | P | P |
| 9 | P | P | P | P | P | P | P | P | P | P | P |
R - To steal; P - To stand up for oneself
If the Player's first two cards add up to 6 or 7 points in total, but the Banker's first two cards add up to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 points in total, the Banker has to draw an extra card.
Main bets
The main bets are Player, Banker, and Tie. The hand with the highest total card value wins. If the Player and Banker have the same total card value, it's a Tie; you win if you bet on a Tie.
Bets can be placed in the betting box shown on the screen.
The base payout for a winning Player bet is 1:1 , and Lucky Cards can increase this payout to 600:1 .
The base payout for a winning Banker bet is 1 :1 , and Lucky Cards can increase this payout to up to 600:1 . If the Banker wins, only 95% of the Banker bet will be returned.
The base payout for a winning Tie bet is 5.5:1 , and Lucky Cards can increase this payout to 6600:1 . In the event of a Tie, bets on the player and banker will not be lost and will be returned.
Bets on Player and Bank betting points may be subject to opposing bet blocking.
Side bets
In addition to the main bets, you can also place optional side bets. To place a side bet, you must first place a main bet. You can place any or all of the side bets in the same round of play.
- Player's partner
- Banking couple
- Fantastic 8
Bet limits apply to all side bets. Additional restrictions may apply to the maximum stake on side bets after a specific number of rounds. This amount cannot exceed a fixed percentage of the main accumulator bets. See Payouts and Limits for more information.
Player's partner and banker's partner
A Player Pair side bet wins if the Player's first two cards form a pair, and a Banker Pair side bet wins if the Banker's first two cards form a pair. Any pair counts for both the Player's and Banker's hands.
- Perfect pair : two identical cards (for example, two kings of hearts).
- Pair of colors : two cards of the same value and color, but of different suits (for example, a 5 of hearts and a 5 of diamonds).
- Mixed pair : two cards of different suits and colors but with the same value (for example, a 7 of spades and a 7 of diamonds).
The base payout for any winning Player Pair or Banker Pair is **10:1**, and Lucky Cards can increase this payout to **4000:1**.
Fantastic 8
The Fantastic 8 side bet wins if both hands tie with a score of 8.
The base payout for a winning bet on **Fantastic 8** is **55:1**, and Lucky Cards can increase this payout to **66,000:1**.

Tracking grids
Baccarat trends and streaks are recorded on "grids." These pictorial representations of past round results and other statistics related to the current shoe can serve as a guide and help you predict the results of upcoming rounds. Past game results do not guarantee or influence future results.
A baccarat tracking grid begins when the first hand of the first shoe is dealt and continues until the cut card is dealt. When the last hand of the shoe is dealt, all records on the current tracking grid are erased.
When a new shoe is started, the process begins again from the beginning.
There are five traditional grids available:
- Big Road
- Big Eye Boy
- Small Road
- Cockroach Road
- Bead Plate
Big Road
The Big Road is the main tracking grid from which all others are derived.
Symbols of the Big Road:
| Icons |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
|
|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meaning | The player wins | The house wins. | Win the tie after the bench | 2 consecutive draws | The player's partner wins. | The Bank Couple wins |
When the shoe is started, the first result is recorded in the top left corner of the Big Road. If the next result is from the same side as the first, it is recorded below. Otherwise, a new column is started, and this process continues throughout the shoe. In this way, the Big Road becomes a series of columns of empty circles (blue for the Player and red for the Banker).

In Big Road, a tie is not shown in a separate square, but as a green line crossing the last result. If there are several ties in a row, a number is shown next to the green line representing the number of ties. If a tie occurs before there has been a result in favor of the Player or the Banker, the green tie line is shown in the top left corner of the grid, and when the first result in favor of the Player or the Banker is known, the circle is shown in that same square, below the tie line.
If the Player or the Banker wins more than six times in a row, it's called "the dragon." This is the origin of a very popular baccarat strategy: "follow the dragon" and taking this trend into account when placing bets.
Derived grids
The Big Eye Boy , Small Road , and Cockroach Road grids are derived from the Big Road grid and capture various patterns. These derived grids function as "predictive grids," indicating whether patterns have been identified.
The derived grids are constructed with red and blue symbols: empty circles for the Big Eye Boy, filled circles for the Small Road, and diagonal bars for the Cockroach Road.
The red and blue symbols do not correspond to the Bank or the Player. Red indicates that there is a pattern, and blue indicates that the shoe is "variable" and does not follow any pattern.

The derived grids do not start at the beginning of the shoe. They start with the hand following the first hand in the second, third, and fourth columns of the Big Road:
- In Big Eye Boy : the second result in the second column.
- In Small Road : the second result in the third column.
- On Cockroach Road : the second result in the fourth column.
Once a derived grid has been started, an additional red or blue symbol is added to that grid after each hand.
Click or tap on any derived grid to expand its content.
Bead Plate
The Bead Plate is an exact representation of each shoe hand. Ties are shown in a separate box on the Bead Plate and are marked with a green circle.
| Icons |
|
|
|
|
|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meaning | The player wins | The house wins. | Win the tie | The player's partner wins. | The Bank Couple wins |
The first symbol is displayed in the top left corner of the grid, which fills vertically downwards along the six squares of the column. A new column begins once the previous column is completed, regardless of the outcome of each hand.
By clicking or tapping the Statistics area of the Bead Plate, you will see the results, represented by letters, which correspond to the winning results (Player, Banker, Tie) or by numbers that correspond to the value of the winning hand.


Consult tracking grid (Ask the Player, Ask the Bank)
Consulting the tracking grid helps players determine the outcome of the next round. It displays trends for the Big Road, Big Eye Boy, Small Road, Cockroach Road, and Bead Plate if a Player or Banker result is added.
Click or tap the Ask Player or Ask Bank button to see the trends, if the next result would be a win for the Player or the Bank, respectively.


The button symbols represent the most recent symbol from each derived grid.

Shuffle and change cards
When the cut card is removed from the shoe and the game round is over, the cards are shuffled.
If the cut card appears during the game, it is removed. The dealer informs the other players that this is the last hand in the shoe and the game ends. Once the hand is complete, no more cards are dealt until the shoe is changed or the cards are shuffled.
The cards are either shuffled by a shuffler on the shuffling table or shuffled by the dealer, depending on the procedure.
The shoe change procedure can be initiated before removing the cut card at the sole discretion of the person in charge on duty.
The chart change procedure is carried out once every 24 hours or in the following cases:
- The table has been opened after a period of inactivity.
- Video streaming was not available on the table.
- More than three cards fall to the ground during the game round.
- There is a letter with a defective barcode on the shoe.
Game problems
If an error occurs in the game, the game process, or transactions, the round will be temporarily paused and the turn manager will be notified. You and the other players will be informed via an on-screen notification explaining that the problem is being investigated.
If the error can be resolved immediately, the round will continue as normal. If it cannot be resolved immediately, the round will be canceled and the initial bets will be refunded to all players participating in the round.
