To play, the player must always go with the highest bet. At the end of the game, the highest combination of cards gets the pot.

 

Blackjack

Before the game begins, players must bet their money. When blackjack is played at home, it usually involves small amounts of money. In the casino, the smallest bet is €5 and the largest bet is €5000. No more can be wagered. The stakes can vary from one game table to another.

Depending on where and how you play, there will be a croupier. It is also possible to deal the cards yourself or electronically. In many online casinos it is perfectly possible to play live baccarat, so you don’t have to face the computer.

During a game of Baccarat each player, including the dealer, can bet. You can bet on the player, the banker or a tie. It is also possible to skip a round.

It is usually not played in many normal casinos, but most online casinos carry it. There are different versions of Red Dog, and they are all slightly different.
