So, the baccarats involves a level of "skill", who knew, hey hey.

Description

No, it's not played with tweezers. In Mini Baccarat, the full-sized fun sees the cards dealt quickly and openly, which makes for a smoother-playing variation of the favourite casino game of high rollers. This "Punto banco"-style version of baccarat follows predetermined rules on whether or not the player and the banker are dealt a third card. Mini Baccarat is played with six decks, shuffled before each round. This game throws the fun right Baccaratcha!

"element of skill"?, "optimal playing strategy"? - seriously? they actually believe this?

The OLG regulates all casino and lottery in Ontario province so they are a serious outfit. So, I thought it very unusual that they would say the baccarats is a skill game with optimal strategy, hey hey.

"element of skill"?, "optimal playing strategy"? - seriously? they actually believe this?

very odd indeed

Well, I just fired off an email asking the cats who run the OLG online casinos to provide me with the skills based "optimal" strategy for their online baccarats game. I'll keep you all cats apprised if I get a response to my query. This whole deal is just really strange head scratcher I must say, hey hey!

LOL - I'll be looking forward to their response on that!

Hey sox, i know what their optimal strategy is.
it's a, eleven step 175unit parley prog with a touch of subjectivity.  Maybe they are confusing bacc with black ?.
