Advanced Features In Microgaming Baccarat Gold Online
Added: April 28, 2016
At one time baccarat used to be an extremely simple and unattractive online casino game. Then Microgaming launched Baccarat Gold. Several gaming and visual features have been added that will draw Australian online casino players to baccarat.
Microgaming Baccarat Gold is played with eight decks. Apart from the regular Player, Banker and Tie bets there are other side bets. Banker Pair bet and Player Pair bet pay out at 11 to 1 when the first two cards dealt to the hand form a pair. Card handling animations that simulate land casino practices have been added to Microgaming Baccarat Gold. The hand that you have bet on is moved towards you face down. You can lift the card by manipulating the cursor and peek at it. After that you can turn the card over by moving the cursor further or by clicking on the Squeeze button. The face-up cards are then returned to their original position. Another baccarat practice followed in land casinos is to rotate the cards before peeking at them. This can also be done in Microgaming Baccarat Gold. These animated moves create a sense of interactivity, which Australian online casino players like.
Expert baccarat players at land casinos make extensive use of history and roadmaps. These are usually displayed over the baccarat table in some land casinos. Microgaming has introduced these features in Baccarat Gold. The history feature displays the outcomes of the hands in sequence. A blue button with a P marks a Player win. A red button with a B marks a Banker win and a green button with a T marks a Tie. The roadmaps offer advanced baccarat analysis with four different charts, which are Big Road, Big Eye Road, Small Road and Cockroach Road. The Big Road is similar to the history chart but is visually more effective. The first outcome of a session is marked in the first row of the first column. If the next hand delivers the same outcome then the marking is continued in the same column. When the outcome changes, then a new column is started. Each of the subsequent road maps takes the analysis to a higher level. Most online baccarat players follow this analysis for fun. They know that each hand is independent of the previous results and hence predictions cannot be made scientifically.
Baccarat Gold is live at Microgaming powered Australian online casinos like Casino Mate, Royal Vegas and Crazy Vegas.
