Amazing Baccarat is a premium version of Speed ​​Baccarat that combines classic baccarat rules with the “Lucky Cards” mechanic, featuring multipliers that boost winnings.

The goal of the game is to predict which side—Player or Banker—will win by achieving a hand total as close to 9 as possible. In addition to standard bets and side bets on pairs (“Player Pair” and “Banker Pair”), the game also offers the unique “Amazing 8s” bet.

How to Play Amazing Baccarat

To start the game, select a bet amount and place it on one or more of the main outcomes: Player, Banker, or Tie. You can also place side bets: Player Pair, Banker Pair, or Amazing 8s.

A 20% commission is added to your bet amount.

For example, if your bet is 10, the commission is 2, making the total bet amount 12. The commission is not included when calculating minimum and maximum bet limits.
You can place or modify bets until the betting time expires.

Once betting for the round closes, 5 “Lucky Cards” are randomly selected and displayed on the screen.

Gold coins in the background—corresponding to the number of cards—reveal random multipliers: 2x, 3x, 5x, 8x, 10x, 20x, 50x, 100x, or 200x.

Each of the “Lucky Cards” is randomly assigned one of the multipliers. A gold coin displaying the multiplier appears over the “Lucky Card” on the screen.

Next, the dealer deals four initial cards in the following order: the first and third to the Player’s side, and the second and fourth to the Banker’s side.

If either side requires a third card, the dealer deals an additional card according to the third-card rule described below.

The game round concludes once all necessary cards have been dealt to each hand. The side with a point total closer to 9 wins. If the point totals for both hands are equal, the round ends in a tie.

Winning bet positions will be highlighted, and the payout will be made based on the type of bets you placed.

If the winning hand contains a “Lucky Card,” a multiplier is applied to your base payout.

If the winning hand contains more than one “Lucky Card,” the multipliers are added together, and the resulting value is applied to your base payout.

Your total winnings will be displayed on the screen.

At the end of the round, all cards are collected and cleared from the table, and betting reopens for the next round.

Card Values

The game is played using eight standard 52-card decks. Only the value of each card counts; the suit (diamonds, hearts, spades, or clubs) does not matter.

The point total for the “Player” and “Banker” sides is calculated by adding the face values ​​of the cards. The maximum possible score is 9. If the total is 10 or higher, 10 is subtracted from it (or, in other words, the first digit is dropped).
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 situations where the round ends after four cards have been dealt (two to each hand) and no additional cards are required:

The total of the Player’s or Banker’s first two cards is 8 or 9 points (a “natural” hand).
The Player has 6 points and the Banker has 7 (or vice versa).
A tie with a score of 6, 7, 8, or 9 points.

If the Player’s or Banker’s total after the initial two cards is between 0 and 7, the third card rule applies, determining whether a third card must be dealt to either side. The Player always acts first.
Conditions for drawing a third card for the Player’s hand:

For the Banker’s hand to draw:

If the total of the Player’s first two cards is 6 or 7 points, and the total of the Banker’s first two cards is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 points, the Banker must draw an additional card.

Main Bets

The main bets are “Player,” “Banker,” and “Tie.” The hand with the highest point total wins. If the “Player” and “Banker” have equal point totals, a tie is declared; in this case, a bet placed on “Tie” wins.

Bets can be placed in the corresponding areas on the game layout displayed on the screen.

A winning “Player” bet pays out at odds ranging from 1:1 to 600:1.

A winning “Banker” bet pays out at odds ranging from 1:1 to 600:1. If the “Banker” wins, the player receives a return of only 95% of the “Banker” bet amount.

A winning “Tie” bet pays out at odds ranging from 5.5:1 to 6600:1. In the event of a tie, “Player” and “Banker” bets do not lose; instead, the stakes are returned (a “push”).

Placing bets on both the “Player” and “Banker” positions may be subject to restrictions regarding opposing bets.
