Game Review: Evoplay's Baccarat 777

Evoplay Entertainment released Baccarat 777 in 2018. The game retains all the aspects of the standard Baccarat and adds a special Lucky Sevens bet. As a result, players can easily win more with this new version of Baccarat. The rules are simple, and the interface allows players to follow each game stage with ease. We took the time to test Baccarat 777 game and came up with a breakdown of all the features. 

Rules

The game follows basic Baccarat rules. Players aim to have the winning hand, which is the one closest to or equal to 9. The dealer uses eight decks of cards, with the jokers eliminated before shuffling. Players then bet on one of three options:

• Player bet
• Banker bet
• Tie bet

Dealing starts with two face-up cards for the player and two more face-up cards for the banker. If none of the hands totals eight or nine points, the player is given a third card following the three-card rules.

Depending on the card's value drawn by the player, the dealer may also receive a third card. In the end, the hand with 9 points or closest wins the round.

Each card holds a different value in Baccarat, as outlined below:

• Ace – 1 point
• 10, Jack, Queen, and King – 0 points
• 2 to 9 – the value denoted on the face
