Edgeless team has introduced another game to their portfolio, this time Bacarrat! I was chosen as one of the ten subscribers who were allowed to have a first hand on experience on this new game. The game is expected to be launched within this month. Another new game "Crash" will follow shortly.
You can try the link below to have a go at all the games!

Some history. First records for the game date abck to 1400s. It gained popularity in Europe in the 19th century. Bacarrat is an extremely famous card game and has said to have surpassed Blackjack in Las Vegas. It is also a game loved by the Chinese due to its low casino Edges and relevance of number 8 in the game (Chinese people love number 8).
I have searched many places for the rules of the game and you could try the link below. A bit tricky to learn in the beginning.

Please not that this short review was done on mobile, with demo edges.
As said before the platform provides seamless play, more smoother than the previous platform and with much better graphic.
When you start the game you can choose to bet on the player, on tie, and on banker. You can either press the + signs under each category or toggle by ysing switch bet.
You can bet on a player, and on tie at the same time. (You can bet on all three, but that would not be very useful unless you get a tie lol).
Overall, game play is very smooth and comfortable.
Some areas of improvement,
On mobile, the displayed cards are too small and it is not easy to decipher what the cards are, despite using a Galaxy Note 8 which has a quite a large screen. I need to bring the monitor very close to my eyes to see the cards and it is not an action I would like to do often. Maybe the card size can stay as it is now, but the letters and diagrams can be bigger.
After game play, the games disappear very quickly, before I even have the chance to see what the cards were like and how I have lost or won. Maybe the cards can stay as they are after game play, and can disappear when I start a new game.
I will try more games to discover if there are any bugs in the game.
Some players are already winning on baccarat. :) The number below is the number for win today.
So,
Why not try some games with your Edges today? :) They have Blackjack and Dice, with no house advantage. And it's fun.
