Live Dealer Baccarat Third Card Rules – Know When to Draw!

In Live Dealer Baccarat, if your hand (the Player's hand) totals between 0 and 5, you'll receive a third card. If your hand totals 6 or 7, you "hold" or "stick" – meaning you don't get another card.

If you, as the Player, get a third card, it changes what the Banker does. The Banker decides whether to draw another card based on the value of your third card and their own hand total. There are specific rules for this.

If the Player chooses to "hold" (doesn't draw a third card), the Banker will draw a third card if their hand totals 0-5. If the Banker's hand totals 6-7, they also "hold".

Yes, in Live Dealer Baccarat, the Banker always gets a third card if their hand totals 0, 1, or 2, no matter what cards the Player has. This gives the Banker a slight edge.

Absolutely. The third card rules are a must in Live Dealer Baccarat, and they're followed strictly. Both the Player and the Banker have to play by these rules – there's no room for improvisation.

The total value of the Player's and Banker's initial two-card hands determines if a third card is dealt. If either hand meets specific criteria (Player 0-5, Banker follows a more complex rule set), a third card is drawn to potentially improve the hand's value.

Some online casinos in Kenya offer a "3 Card Baccarat" side bet. This bet wins if either the Player or the Banker wins with a three-card hand. Check with your chosen online casino to see if they offer this specific side bet.

'3 giving 8' refers to when a player's initial hand totals 3, and they then draw a card to reach a total of 8. This is a strong hand, as you're getting close to 9, the highest possible hand value in Baccarat.

As the Player, you automatically receive a third card if your initial two-card hand totals between 0 and 5. The Banker's decision to draw a third card, however, depends on the Player's third card (if drawn) and the Banker's own hand total, following specific rules.
