Baccarat Etiquette Guide

An African-American man has won in baccarat, friends are happy for him

Baccarat at Casinos

Baccarat has a reputation as a game with high stakes, popular among high society. Before, it was played only among aristocrats.

Of course, now everything has changed and baccarat has become available to anyone.

If you do not even have the opportunity to play it in a land-based casino, you can do it in an online casino.

And still, some of the rules of conduct in the baccarat are used even now. Read them to avoid an awkward situation when you're not the only player at the table.

Baccarat Players' Code of Behavior

We will not dwell on the dress code because it exists in every casino, and you won't be required to dress up if you decide to play baccarat. However, be prepared for the fact that a casino offering its visitors this game may set relatively high requirements for the appearance of visitors.

  • You may sit at the baccarat table where the game has already started. But please wait till the cards in the shoe end.
  • Meanwhile, you can observe players' actions and pay attention to all details. This will help you understand what is happening and ask questions later as a new player.
  • Remember that baccarat has lost its snobbery, so behave with restraint, avoid loud laughter, not annoy the neighbors with questions, and so on during the game. You can maintain a friendly conversation on neutral subjects.
  • Do not make a bet before the dealer offers you to. After winning, do not rush to pick up chips from the board. Wait till the dealer serves all the boxes.
  • When playing in a respected club, you do not have to take chips along if you need time to leave the table. The dealer will look after them, and you can thank him with tips.

Of course, all these etiquette rules relate mainly to games in land-based casinos. However, they should also be followed when playing baccarat online with live dealers, as it is now possible in many online casinos.
