Exciting Games to Help You Pass Time

If you are seeking thrill and excitement, don’t forget that you can now have the time of your life without having to leave your home. We are talking about online games. In general, there are two types of games that you can engage in – strategic playing games, and games that you play for pure excitement.

What type of games appeal to you most? Do you prefer thinking games? Then strategic games like Backgammon would be your cup of tea. But if you like non-thinking games that can bring you instant excitement, then games like Baccarat will be most ideal. Regardless of the type of game that you choose, note that there is always the element of luck. Even if you are the most strategic player in the world, you may still lose if luck is not with you. Nevertheless, if you play the games well, you still end up with hours of entertainment.

Playing Baccarat.

In a casino, there are 2 types of Baccarat. There is the full-fledged Baccarat, and then there is the mini-Baccarat. The full-fledged version is mainly for VIPs and millionaires. So most of us will just see the mini-Baccarat version.

The primary reason why this game is so popular is because it’s very simple to understand and play. It doesn’t involve much thinking. The entire game is dependent on luck. The only time when the player participates is before the start of the game. The player has to decide on how to bet, and how much to bet. In the game, the player can bet on the player’s hand, the banker’s hand, or a tie. The odds of winning for a tie is so low that most players just forget about the tie and bet either on the player or the banker.

Once the bet is placed, everything goes on auto-pilot according to the rules of the game. There is no need to make further decisions on the part of the player. The banker will do the rest.

The rules are simple. The goal is to achieve 9 points. There is no bust. 2 cards are dealt when the game starts. If the points go over 9 points, then 10 points are dropped. For example, if you get a 9 and a 5, the total is 14. 10 is dropped, so your total score becomes 4.

If both cards add up to 8 or 9, you have a “natural” hand. That means no further cards will be drawn. If the player has 6 or 7, the player stands automatically. However, if the player gets 5 or less, the player hits and the banker gives a third card to the player.

The decision to hit or stand always starts with the player’s cards depending on the above rules. The banker will then hit or stand depending on the status of the player’s cards. For instance, if the player has 2 cards and stands, the banker automatically hits if the total is less than 5.

If the player hits a third card, the banker will hit or stand based on a different set of rules. For example, if the banker has 0,1,2, then the must hit.

As soon as the third card is dealt, the result is known – the one with cards closest to 9 wins.
