Speed Baccarat

Speed Baccarat is SA Gaming's fast-format live baccarat, where the betting window is about 12 seconds and every hand is settled without delay. The game uses eight decks without random shuffling and standard rules, so the only thing that changes is the pace.

Its side bet menu sets it apart. As well as Player, Banker, Tie and the two pair bets, it offers Player Natural and Banker Natural bets, both paying 7:2. Players can also add other tables to the screen and play several at once. Limits run from 5 € to 500 €, and the game works on mobile, tablet and desktop, which makes it a strong fit for high-volume, experienced players.

Speed Baccarat follows standard baccarat rules, so regular players have nothing new to learn. The cards come from eight decks. Side bets are available, and the table runs without random shuffling. The betting window is short, about 12 seconds, so chips need to go down quickly.

When betting closes, the dealer turns two cards face up for the Player and the Banker, adds a third card straight away if the drawing rules require it and announces the result at once. Each hand ends in a Player win, a Banker win or a tie. Losing stakes are collected, winning bets are paid, and the next betting window opens for about 30 seconds. Play is for real money only.

Main bets and side bets pay at these odds, as listed for this table:

• Player: 1:1
• Banker: 1:0.95
• Tie: 8:1
• Player Pair: 11:1
• Banker Pair: 11:1
• Player Natural: 7:2
• Banker Natural: 7:2

Every hand is dealt live by a dealer in the provider's studio and streamed in high quality. Players bet on which hand will finish closer to nine, and an on-screen timer at the front of the display shows when the betting window is open.

The table works on mobile, tablet and desktop. Optical character recognition captures each action the dealer takes, so the on-screen result always matches the live hand. Chip values run from 5 € to 500 € and light up when betting opens, and native-speaking dealers are available for many languages. Players can also add other tables to the display and play several at once.
