UNIQUE BACCARAT VARIANT WHERE BETS CAN BE INCREASED MID-GAME
Peek Baccarat is a unique and revolutionary Baccarat variation. It is the only Baccarat that allows players to take a peek and increase their bets after normal betting time has expired and some of the cards have been dealt.
After the cards have been dealt face down, the excitement of the game builds when the dealer randomly reveals one, two, three or four cards. If the revealed cards are favourable to the player’s hand, they can double or triple their bet to win big!
This is the first Baccarat ever to give players this unique and exciting opportunity to predict the
outcome of the round and adjust their bets during gameplay. Peek Baccarat also introduces a user- friendly feature within the game interface: a built-in “Undo” button that removes bets placed by accident.
Besides the revolutionary “peek” feature, Peek Baccarat offers the same rules as standard Commission Baccarat, but with a 20% fee when placing a bet on either Player or Banker for a chance to see between one and four cards before finalising the bet.

HOW TO PLAY
The aim of the game is to predict which hand will win by having the value closest or equal to 9, Player or Banker.
Peek Baccarat is played with eight standard 52-card decks, and only the numeric values of each card are relevant.
The card values are as follows:
• Aces are worth 1 point each
• Cards from 2 to 9 are worth their numerical values
• 10s and face cards are each worth 0.
PLACE A BET
Before each deal, players need to place a bet on whether the Player or the Banker will win the round by having the hand equal or closest to 9, or if they will Tie, which occurs when both the Player and Banker hold hands of equal value.
PEEK AND MAKE A DECISION
After bets have been placed and betting time is over, the dealer will begin to deal two cards face down to both the Player and the Banker.
Next is when the anticipation kicks in and the dealer randomly reveals one, two, three or four cards. If the revealed cards are beneficial for player’s hand, the player can choose to Double or Triple their bet for bigger potential wins using the expanding betting grid.

HOW TO PLAY
THE RESULT
When the decision time is closed, the dealer will reveal the remaining cards, and the winning hand is announced.
Each hand’s value is calculated by dropping the tens digit in a hand otherwise worth 10 or more.
If the Player or the Banker receives an initial two- card hand worth 8 or a 9, no additional cards will be dealt to either hand. If the Player and Banker receive initial two-card hands worth 0-7, the “Third Card Rule” is consulted.
EXAMPLE BACCARAT HANDS
9+7 = 16 (= hand value of 6)
5+5+5 = 15 (= hand value of 5)
10+9 = 19 (= ‘Natural’ 9)
THE THIRD CARD RULE
After the first two cards are dealt to both the Player and Banker, the ‘Third Card Rule’ will determine if a third card is to be dealt. No hand receives more than three cards.
When the Player and Banker hands equal the same total, the hand is declared a Tie. If the value of the cards in either the Player’s hand or the Banker’s hand is an 8 or a 9 (a ‘Natural’) after receiving their initial two cards, then no more cards shall be dealt to either hand.
If the value of the cards in either hand on the first two cards is 0 to 7 inclusive, the hands shall draw in accordance with the ‘Third Card Rule’.
All ‘How to Play’ information plus full details of the ‘Third Card Rule’ can be accessed by players at the live table via the Help button in the toolbar.
