Added: January 21, 2016

Baccarat is one of the more popular card games being played in online casinos and players who reside in Singapore have some great choices when it comes to playing this card game online. With some of the leading online casinos being powered by well known software companies, there are different variations that can be played, all offering outstanding chances to win and providing players with a true to life gambling experience. As baccarat became popular over the years, many countries developed their own version of the game, which is why players today have many options when they are looking to enjoy the game for real money online. All of the game variations have the same goal, which is to get a natural nine or as close to that value as possible. There are four different variations of the game that can be played and those from Singapore will find that many casino sites that cater to their needs will have most of these available.

Mini baccarat is one popular version and his is played with 7 players instead of the normal eight. This game is quite popular in America, but is offered in online casinos that accept Singapore players. With this game, only one croupier is used and they will act as the banker as well as the dealer. The most attractive aspect of this game is the lower betting options. Since most baccarat tables are designed for high rollers, this version of the game offers those with smaller budgets the chance to enjoy the action.

The French version of the game is called Chemin de Fer and this has some slight variations of rules. This game is played with six decks of cards and they are only shuffled by the croupier. The cards are then dealt by the player who is deemed the banker and all players will have the chance to be the banker. All cards are dealt face down instead of exposed and the decision to pull a third card will be at the discretion of the player.

Punto Banco is the Cuban version of the game and this can support as many as 14 players. Between 6 and 8 decks are used with the game and the dealer will do all shuffling and dealing. Players do not have the option to decide on the third card. It will be dealt no matter what the hand values are and the winner will be announced by the croupier.

Baccarat Banque is the last version and this will allow all players to deal. There are fewer decks used and this is one of the more popular versions played by European gamblers. The game follows basic baccarat rules.
