Baccarat Mini from Cryptologic

When it comes to playing the game made famous by the inimitable James Bond, then CryptoLogic does a fine job. And they've gone a step further with their Baccarat Mini game. This high-class game of luck pits big punters against either the player or the banker.

The goal of course is to score 9 or as close to 9 as possible without going bust. And there are wagers allowed on both the player and banker hands. All face cards have a zero value and reset the card value count. Any totals going over 10, (for example 6 + J = 6. And a 7 +8 = 5) will have 10 subtracted from their count. The game is played with 8 shuffled decks of cards.

A touch of class from CryptoLogic

With this software gaming giant, baccarat players will enjoy a superb gaming platform featuring realistic casino action. The graphics and the audio are high class - perfectly mimicking the action at real-life casino tables. Betting starts at 2 currency units. Tie Bets in this variant of online baccarat pay out at 8 to 1 and players are easily able to view the gaming results/history in the viewing box.

CryptoLogic promotes this particular house favourite as the game that allows players to bet on either the player or the banker - just like the French and Italian royalty did several centuries ago. It is virtually the same game as regular baccarat, with the exception that the table is smaller and there is only 1 dealer handling the entire game. A plus point for online gamers is that the game moves at a rate of knots - so more gaming fun can be enjoyed in less time.
