History of the Game
Baccarat traces its roots to Italy and France in the 15th century. Originally called “Baccara”, it spread to the French nobility, who made slight rule changes. Those versions eventually became known as “Chemin de Fer” and “Baccarat Banque” before evolving into the game we know today. The first squeeze variation emerged in the 1990s from Asian casinos. Macau’s Grand Lisboa property patented a “Big Baccarat” game featuring the signature card reveal. Its suspenseful style proved hugely popular, sparking a squeeze craze that spread across Asia and into online casinos. Players loved the added drama and anticipation from gradually exposed card values.
Game Rules and Mechanics
Baccarat Squeeze follows standard rules played at a full-sized table with 12-14 players. 8 decks are used. Participants do not receive cards – they bet on either the Player or Banker hand to be closest to 9.
- The dealer deals two cards each to the Player and Banker spots. Aces count as 1, face cards as 10, and pip cards at face value. Suits are irrelevant.
- If either hand has an 8 or 9 (a “natural”) after the initial deal, no further cards are drawn. These simply pay out.
- If Player has 5 or less, they draw a third card according to set rules. Banker also draws by rules and tries to beat the Player’s hand.
- Winning bets are paid at 1:1 on Player/Banker wagers, less a small commission on Banker wins. Side bets also offered.
The dealer handles all card dealing/drawing. Players simply bet and watch the reveal. Camera streams allow views of table and squeeze action up close.
