Mega Baccarat

Introduction

Mega Baccarat is an exciting variant of the classic game of baccarat, one of the oldest and most famous casino games in the world. In addition to the standard rules, it includes a mega round with mega multipliers, which is triggered if the dice roll results in an 8 or 9, increasing your chances of winning big.

The objective of the game is to guess who will win (the Player or the Bank) with a hand closest to 9.

How to play

To play, select a stake amount to bet on the Player, the Banker, or a Tie. You can place or modify your bets until the timer runs out.

A 20% mega-odds boost is added to your bets. For example, if your stake is 10, the mega-odds boost will be 2, making your total stake 12.

The mega odds are not included in the minimum and maximum betting limits.

Megaround

Once the timer expires, random mega-multipliers between 2x and 100x are assigned to all bet points. The dice shaker then begins to spin to determine if this round of play will be the Mega Round.

If the dice roll is 8 or 9, the Mega Round is played and the multipliers are activated. Payouts are adjusted by applying the mega multipliers to the corresponding bet points. If your bets cover the winning bet point, you receive the multiplied payout, and your initial bet is added to your winnings. You can win even more if two or more bet points are winners.

Normal round

If the dice roll is neither an 8 nor a 9, a normal round is played and the multipliers disappear. If your bet wins, you will receive the normal payout.

The dealer then deals the four starting cards in the following order: the 1st and 3rd cards to the Player and the 2nd and 4th cards to the Banker. When the betting timer expires, the dealer scans the four starting cards dealt to the Player and the Banker, starting with the Player.

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 both hands have the same value, the round ends in a tie.

Winning bet points are highlighted, and you receive your payout based on the type of bet you placed. Winnings are 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.

In this game, only the numerical value of each card is taken into account; the suit of the cards (diamonds, hearts, spades, or clubs) is irrelevant.

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

1 + 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:

So that he steals from the bank:

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.

Top 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.

A winning bet on the Player pays 1-100:1 .

A winning bet on the Banker pays 1-100:1 *.

A winning bet on a Draw pays 8-800:1 . In the event of a draw, bets on the Player and the Banker are not lost, but returned.

*95% of your bet on the bank is returned if the bank wins.

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. You can place any or all of the side bets in the same round of play.

• Player's partner
• Banking couple

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 stakes. See Payouts and Limits for more information. 

When additional restrictions are placed on the maximum bet, placing a main bet becomes a requirement in order to place side bets.

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).

A winning bet on any type of Player or Banker Pair pays 10-1000:1.

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 tracking grid is started when the first round of play for the first shoe is dealt and continues until the cut card is dealt. When the last hand for the shoe is dealt, all records in 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 rather as a green line crossing the last result. If there are several ties in a row, a small 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.

Subtitles

The subtitles may not be entirely accurate. Please refer to the game's user interface information as the primary source.

Invalid throws

The dice shaker must spin for at least 7 seconds after the last result was determined.

If the throw is not confirmed as valid, it is called a “void throw” .

A "vote run" is considered to have occurred if:

• The agitator spins for less than 7 seconds.
• There's a die stuck on the edge.
• There is a physical failure affecting the tilting device.
• There is a mechanical failure affecting the agitator or the dice.

In the event of a "void run" , a new run is activated following our standard operating procedures.

Your bets remain until a valid roll is made.

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 who participated in the round.
