Seotda Baccarat
Introduction
Two classic casino games, seotda and baccarat, have been combined to create a unique and highly entertaining card game, Seotda Baccarat .
It is played with 20 cards from a Hwatu deck , made up of the two most valuable types of cards from January to October.
The objective of the game is to predict whether the player or the bank will receive the highest-ranking two-card hand.
The hands are ranked according to the Seotda game rules, which are explained in detail in the Card Ranking and Values section .
To get a bigger payout, you can also place side bets if you think a specific combination of cards will be dealt.
How to play
To play, select the amount you wish to bet on the player, banker, or tie. You can also place one or more special side bets: Player Pair, Banker Pair, Player Outsmart, and Banker Outsmart.
You can place bets or modify your bets until the timer runs out.
Next, the dealer deals four cards in the following order: 1st and 3rd card to the Player and 2nd and 4th card to the Banker.
The side with the higher-ranked hand wins, and the game ends. If both hands have the same ranking, the game 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, the 20 cards are collected to be shuffled again and the bets are placed for the next round.
Classification and values of cards
The game is played with 20 cards from the Hwatu deck. The cards are numbered from 1 to 10, with two of each number. Each number represents a month from January to October. There are three cards marked with the character 光, which are called Brilliant cards .
The game has a card ranking system; the higher the ranking, the better the hand. The card rankings are as follows:
Catching couples
The three highest-ranking hands are combinations of two of the three trump cards, called Trump Pairs . A specific Trump Pair (3/8) always wins.
Catching couples
Rank 2
Catching Couple 1/8
Rank 1
Catching Couple 3/8
Rank 3
Catching Couple 1/3
Couples
These are combinations of two cards with the same number, and their ranking is just below the highest-ranking pairs. Pairs of 10s are the highest-ranking pairs, and pairs of 1s are the lowest.
Combinations of points
When the hand does not reflect any of the indicated card combinations with a higher ranking, the ranking is based on the sum of the two cards.
The first digit is ignored when the sum of the cards is 10 points or more, so the highest-ranking point combinations are 9 points and the lowest is 0 points.
Special hands
These are special hands that beat specific combinations of higher-ranked cards. When faced with any other hand, they are ranked as a point combination.
The combination of cards Crooked Pair with Hunter (4/7) beats two Crooked Pairs, 1/8 and 1/3.
Special hands
Catching couple with hunter 4/7
The combination of cards Pair with hunter (3/7) beats the rest of the pairs from 1 to 9.

Main bets
The main bets are Player, Banker, and Tie. Win the hand with the highest-ranking card combination.
If the player's and banker's card rankings are the same, the result is a tie. You will only win if you bet on a tie, and bets placed on the player and banker will be lost.
Bets can be placed in the betting box shown on the screen.
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
- Player on the lookout
- Bank at a glance

A Player Pair side bet wins if two cards in the player's hand form a pair, while the Banker Pair side bet wins if two cards in the banker's hand form a pair.

Tracking grids
Game 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.
When you start playing, the Tracking Grids are displayed by default.
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:
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. 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 a pattern, and blue indicates no 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 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 on the statistics area of the Bead Plate, you will see the results, represented by letters, corresponding to the winning outcome (Player, Bank, Tie).
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.
