Baccarat review
Baccarat Controlled Squeeze is Evolution's baccarat where you squeeze the cards yourself: cards are dealt face down on glass and you peel back the mask with a tap.
It went live from Riga on 5 October 2016.

How it works
Nobody makes a decision in baccarat: these fixed rules decide every third card. A total of 8 or 9 on the first two cards is a natural and ends the hand.
| Hand | Total | Draws a third card when |
|---|---|---|
| Player | 0–5 | Always |
| Player | 6–7 | Never (stands) |
| Banker | 0–2 | Always |
| Banker | 3 | Player's third card is anything but 8 |
| Banker | 4 | Player's third card is 2–7 |
| Banker | 5 | Player's third card is 4–7 |
| Banker | 6 | Player's third card is 6 or 7 |
| Banker | 7 | Never |
| Banker | 0–5 when Player stood | Always |
Standard punto banco drawing rules, which Evolution's baccarat tables follow.
