Golden Frog Baccarat

Golden Frog Baccarat is an exciting twist on the traditional game of baccarat, bringing a fresh set of side bets and higher payouts to the table. Popular in casinos throughout Asia, this variation is now gaining traction in the United States, offering players even more thrilling ways to enjoy one of the most elegant card games. If you're looking to elevate your baccarat experience, Golden Frog Baccarat might be the game for you.

What is Golden Frog Baccarat?

Golden Frog Baccarat is a special variant of classic baccarat that introduces unique side bets alongside the standard Player, Banker and Tie bets. These side bets focus on specific combinations of hands that can lead to higher payouts.

The game is played with a standard 52-card deck (usually 6 to 8 decks), and the objective remains the same: to bet on whether the Player's hand or Banker's hand will be closer to 9 points or if the outcome will be a Tie.

Golden Frog Baccarat Rules and Gameplay

The core gameplay of Golden Frog Baccarat mirrors that of traditional baccarat. You start by placing your bets. Players can bet on the Player, Banker, or Tie outcomes. 

Both the Player and Banker are then dealt two cards each. A third card may be drawn based on specific drawing rules. The hand values are calculated based on the cards in them. Aces count as 1 point, cards 2 through 9 are worth their face value, and 10s and face cards (Jacks, Queens, Kings) are worth 0 points. The hand closest to 9 points wins. If both the Player and Banker hands total the same, it results in a Tie.

The distinguishing feature of Golden Frog Baccarat is its side bets, which are not available in traditional baccarat. These side bets focus on specific card combinations and payouts, adding more excitement to each round.
