Bac Bo

Bac Bo review

Graphics, Sounds, and Animations

You might have played sic bo and you might have played baccarat, but this Evolution Gaming live casino table combines both for a really unique experience.

As Bac Bo is a live casino game, you'll be playing alongside a real, professional dealer and other players. The background is a tranquil Asian-style garden, and the dealer is dressed to match, in elegant red clothes.

When the dice are rolled, you'll see a close-up on the HD video stream, so it's easy to keep track of everything that's going on, as the action unfolds.

Be sure to turn the sound on so that you can hear the dealer guiding you through the game, just like they would at a land-based casino.

Gameplay

The aim of Bac Bo is to correctly predict which hand will have the highest dice total. You can bet on the Player, the Banker, or a Tie. There are four dice (two for the Player and two for the Banker), with each one in an individual shaker on the table.

All of the shakers are turned on at the same time and once betting is complete, the Player's first die comes to a rest, followed by the others. When all shakers have stopped, the totals are displayed on the screen, with the highest total winning.

If you want to enjoy a more social experience, you can use the chat function to interact with your fellow players and the dealer during the game.

Wilds, Bonuses, and Free Spins

There are some live casino games – like Lightning Baccarat – which have special features, and some game shows even have bonus rounds. But Bac Bo keeps things really simple. The gameplay is the same in every round, so you can fully concentrate on your bets rather than looking out for modifiers or extra mini-games.

Bet Sizes, RTP, and Variance

The payouts for Bac Bo vary based on the bets that you place. Player and Banker bets come with a very high Return to Player (RTP) percentage of 98.87% and pay 1:1, while Tie bets pay between 4:1 and 88:1, depending on the result.

Tie bets also have a lower RTP, coming in at 95.52%. The biggest payout you can get (88:1) is based on a result of 1 or 12 when a Tie bet wins. The high RTP of this game is well above what you can expect for slot games, but it's lower than some other table games like blackjack.

You can play for between $/€/£1 and $/€/£1,000 per go, meaning that the game is well suited to a wide range of players.

Conclusion

Bac Bo is a really unique game, taking inspiration from a few different casino classics, including baccarat. If the usual casino games tend to get a bit boring for you, we'd recommend giving this one a go instead. The live dealer element makes it feel like you've just stepped into a real casino, but with the added benefit of being able to play from your very own computer or phone.
