A method of conducting a Baccarat game incorporating one or more side
wagers is disclosed. The side wagers are dependent upon the number of
cards dealt during the Baccarat hand and may be incorporated into all
types of Baccarat games including Mini and Midi games. Accordingly,
players may place wagers on whether 4, 5 or 6 cards will be dealt during
the Baccarat hand. In one version, a payout of 3 to 2 is paid on winning
wagers dependent on 4 cards being dealt and a payout of 2 to 1 is paid on
winning wagers dependent upon 5 and 6 cards being dealt. Importantly, the
side wagers do not impact the play of the conventional Baccarat game.
While ideal for a live game, the side wagers are also suitable for
electronic gaming devices, online and mobile versions.
