L3 Baccarat

L3 Baccarat is a live baccarat table from HoGaming for players who prefer standard rules at a quick tempo. Bets are open for 12 seconds per round; after that, the dealer deals two face-up cards to Player and Banker and adds a third card only when the rules require it. The table uses eight decks, has no random shuffle and offers Player Pair and Banker Pair side bets at 11:1 next to the main Player, Banker and Tie bets. With limits of 20 € to 2000 €, it slots into the mid-to-high stakes section of a live lobby and plays on mobile, tablet and desktop.

L3 Baccarat follows standard baccarat rules, so there is nothing new to learn. It is dealt from 8 decks, streamed live from the HoGaming studio and played for real money only. The betting window lasts 12 seconds; once it closes, the dealer deals two face-up cards each to the Player and Banker hands, and any third card the drawing rules require follows without delay.

The dealer then settles the round straight away. There are three possible results – Player, Banker or Tie. Losing bets are collected, winning bets are paid, and the next 12-second window opens.

Main bets and the two pair side bets pay as listed for this table:

• Player: 1:1
• Banker: 1:0.95
• Tie: 8:1
• Player Pair: 11:1
• Banker Pair: 11:1

The table and dealer sit in a dedicated area of the HoGaming studio. The dealer guides players through each round, and a “place your bets” sign lights up when betting is open and signals when it has closed. The betting command bar sits along the bottom of the screen.

Players bet on which hand will finish closer to nine, and rounds move quickly. The stream is high quality and can be turned down on slower computers. As a card game, it uses a single camera view without slow-motion replays, which is all that is needed to follow each deal.

The table runs on mobile, tablet and desktop. Optical character recognition reads every card the dealer handles, so the on-screen results always match the live action. Chips range from 20 € to 2000 € and light up when the betting window opens. HoGaming also offers native-speaking dealers for a wide range of languages.
