Evolution Speed Baccarat

"Live baccarat at 27 seconds per round."

Speed Baccarat from Evolution is the fast-paced variant of live baccarat. Standard baccarat rules but cards dealt face-up on the dealer side, eliminating the squeeze; rounds complete in around 27 seconds vs 48 seconds for standard live baccarat. Banker bet retains the 1.06% house edge.
