Live Baccarat at William Hill brings the thrills and action of the casino right into your own home! Combining the iconic card game with live dealers at every table, playing Live Baccarat online is as close as you can get to an authentic casino experience.
Baccarat may have increased in popularity thanks to the stylings of James Bond, but is a casino game that has been around for hundreds of years. The name comes from the Italian word for zero, “baccara”, which plays an important role in the rules of Live Baccarat.
As with so many of the world’s most-popular casino games, the origins of Baccarat are still debated to this day. Its roots can be traced back to Italy given the game’s name, but Baccarat rocketed in popularity in France, particularly among French nobility in the 1800s. It was in France that the name picked up the letter “T”, as well as the pronunciation that is still used in casinos and online to this day.
Why is Live Baccarat so beloved and played by so many millions of people? The beauty of Live Baccarat lies in its simplicity: anyone can play, meaning has a chance to win. Live Baccarat is game of predictions: you place your bet on either the player or the banker and wait for the cards to be dealt to see which of the two will get closest to a score of a nine without going over. A range of side-bets spice up the Live Baccarat action even further.
With every step of the game handled by our fantastic Live Baccarat dealers, you’re sure to have a good time while you try to land a big prize.

How to play Live Baccarat
The main aim of the game is to get as close to nine as possible. In Live Baccarat, the cards are valued as:
- Aces – one
- 2-9 – face value
- Picture card and 10 – zero
If your final hand is 10 or above, 10 will then be taken from the total. Player and the live dealer (banker) hands are paid out at 1 to 1. You can also bet on a tie, which comes out at a much more appealing 8 to 1.
Live Baccarat is played with standard decks of cards which are shuffled at regular intervals – check the full game rules on each individual Live Baccarat game pages for the specifics on this. While you may experience streaks of results when playing Live Baccarat, statistically speaking there is no pattern to what results or cards will occur next.
