Bac Bo Live: Baccarat meets Sic Bo

Launched in 2022 by legendary live games developer Evolution, Bac Bo Live is a fascinating mashup between Baccarat and Sic Bo. The format cherry-picks the best of both worlds - the Player, Banker, Tie setup of Baccarat and the engaging yet simple dice rolls of Sic Bo. The end result? A much faster, more enjoyable Player v Banker game that completely eliminates the complexity of Third Card Rules.

How the game works

Head to our live casino, take a seat at Bac Bo, and the game's simplicity is obvious straight away. Much like Baccarat, you've got Player and Banker positions. However, instead of cards, each position features two mechanical dice shakers as recesses in the table. A single die rests in each: blue for Player, red for Banker.

In front of the live dealer is a yellow gem button that starts the dice rolls for each round. The base of each machine will bob up and down, causing the dice to jump and tumble, ensuring every single roll is 100% fair and random.

The first die for both Player and Banker will stop at the same time. Whichever side has the highest score gets their die stopped next, creating a unique 'come from behind' tension for the final die. The position with the highest dice total wins.

Betting on Bac Bo Live is incredibly simple:

1. Place your chips: Choose Player, Banker, or Tie as the live dealer starts the dice rolls

2. Watch the dice: Once the 10-second betting time has expired, watch as the dice are stopped one by one

3. Collect your winnings: If your bet was successful, your winnings will be added to your bankroll automatically

Bac Bo payouts are 1/1 (evens) for a Player or Banker win, and range from 4/1 to 88/1 for the Tie, depending on the dice total.

Why people love it

We think Bac Bo is a fantastic addition to our live casino collection as it combines the best of both Baccarat and Sic Bo to create a really unique and fun experience that's accessible to everyone. But don't just take our word for it. Here's a breakdown of Bac Bo's best bits:

• Simplicity: Forget complex drawing rules and zero-value face cards. The highest dice total wins - that's it.

• Speed: Bac Bo rounds play much faster than Baccarat as there are no cards to deal or rules to consult.

• Visual appeal: Watching the dice rattle in their mechanical shakers is much more visceral than a largely silent card flip.

Play responsibly

Because Bac Bo rounds play so fast, we recommend applying our deposit and play limits before you take your seat. Setting these up in advance allows you to focus on having fun without worrying about losing track of time or spend.

Plus, since both Evolution and PlayOJO are fully licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, you can rest assured that Bac Bo - like all of Evolution's live games and our entire library - has been extensively tested for strict fairness and security.
