At matbet88, Baccarat uses fixed point totals with a conditional third-card draw, Andar Bahar decides the winner by matching a single joker card dealt alternately, Lightning Roulette adds random multipliers to straight-up numbers only, and Boom City runs on a fixed betting window with periodic multiplier triggers — compare draw rules and pacing before you pick a table.
FORMAT BREAKDOWN
What Each Live Casino Format Plays Like
Our live casino section groups table games by how a round actually unfolds, not just by name. Baccarat is a card-comparison format: Banker and Player hands are dealt two cards each, totals are read on a modulo-ten scale where face cards and tens count as zero, and a third card is drawn only when the first two cards fall into a set range.
Andar Bahar works differently — a single joker card sets the target rank, then cards are dealt one at a time to alternating sides until a match to that rank lands, which decides the winner.
Lightning Roulette keeps the familiar wheel and number grid but adds a twist before the ball drops: a handful of numbers are randomly tagged with multipliers each round, and only straight-up bets on those numbers pay the boosted amount if they land.
Boom City moves at a different rhythm altogether — it's a round-based format with a fixed betting window, a quick reveal, and multiplier or bonus triggers that show up periodically rather than on every spin. Check the rule sheet inside each table before you commit real bets — draw conditions, multiplier counts and betting windows can vary slightly between table versions even under the same game name.
Third-Card Draw Rule
In Baccarat, a third card isn't automatic — Banker and Player hands only draw again if their first two cards sit within a set point range, so check the rule sheet before assuming every hand gets a draw.
Reading the Joker Card
Andar Bahar starts by revealing one joker card that sets the target rank. Cards then go out one by one, alternating sides, until a matching rank appears on either the Andar or Bahar side.
Multiplier Numbers in Lightning Roulette
Only a limited set of numbers get struck with multipliers each round, and only straight-up bets on those exact numbers qualify. Outside bets such as columns or splits pay standard odds, not the multiplier.
Boom City's Round Pace
Each Boom City round runs on a fixed betting window before a fast reveal. Bonus or multiplier triggers appear periodically rather than every round, so pacing feels quicker than a seated card or wheel game.

How We Keep Live Tables Transparent
Trust at a live table starts with what you can actually see on screen. Round history, rule sheets and the video feed itself are the checkable parts of how matbet88's live casino tables run, rather than anything we'd ask you to take on faith.

Past results for Baccarat, Andar Bahar and Lightning Roulette stay visible on the table interface, so you can check recent outcomes before placing a new bet.
Rule Sheet Access
Each live table carries its own rule sheet covering draw conditions and payout structure, accessible from the game screen rather than buried in a separate menu.
RTP Where Disclosed
Where a game or provider exposes RTP information on the table interface, it's shown there directly — we don't publish numbers a game doesn't disclose itself.
Live Video Feed
Lightning Roulette and Boom City run on a continuous video feed so you watch the actual spin or reveal rather than a simulated outcome.
FORMAT AT A GLANCE
Baccarat vs Andar Bahar vs Lightning Roulette vs Boom City
Put side by side, these four formats split into two different rhythms — slower card-comparison play versus quicker round-based betting. Here's what actually separates them at the table, aspect by aspect.
| Format | Baccarat and Andar Bahar are card-comparison games; Lightning Roulette is a wheel game; Boom City is a round-based multiplier format. |
|---|---|
| Pace | Andar Bahar and Boom City generally move faster per round than Baccarat's two-card deal and conditional third-card draw. |
| Skill vs Chance | All four are chance-based, but knowing draw conditions and multiplier rules helps you read a round rather than guess blind. |
| Session Length | Baccarat rounds take a little longer with the third-card draw; Boom City and Lightning Roulette rounds complete faster per cycle. |
| What To Check First | Confirm the third-card rule, joker matching order, multiplier number count or betting window length before your first real bet. |
TABLE TERMS EXPLAINED
