What Is the Casino Plus 3rd Baccarat Tournament

The Casino Plus 3rd Baccarat Tournament is officially called the Baccarat Grand Championship. It is a competitive baccarat event jointly organized by LaVie, Casino Plus, and Bingo Plus.

The tournament runs from July 1, 2026, to November 28, 2026, with offline tournament action held at LaVie Resort & Casino. It builds on the success of the previous two baccarat tournaments and brings players into a bigger, more organized championship experience.

Instead of regular table play, players during the 3rd Baccarat Tournament compete through qualification stages, live tournament rounds, chip rankings, and advancement rules. It is baccarat with a leaderboard, a championship path, and just enough pressure to make every chip count.

Full Tournament Timeline

The Baccarat Grand Championship gives players several qualification windows before the final showdown. Monthly qualification happens from July to October, followed by the Grand Finals qualification period in November.

Each Monthly Final has its own offline tournament date. The 3rd Baccarat Tournament Grand Finals takes place on November 28, 2026, at LaVie.

Tournament Stage	Qualification Period	Offline Tournament Date
July Monthly Finals	July 1 to July 20	July 25
August Monthly Finals	August 1 to August 20	August 29
September Monthly Finals	September 1 to September 20	September 26
October Monthly Finals	October 1 to October 20	October 24
Grand Finals	November 1 to November 20	November 28

How to Qualify for the Monthly Finals

To qualify for the Monthly Finals during the 3rd Baccarat Tournament, players must accumulate at least 5,000,000 Baccarat turnover during the qualification period. This period runs from the 1st to the 20th of each month from July to October.

There is no participant limit for qualification. That means the door is open, but the turnover requirement is the key that gets players in.

Turnover is calculated separately per platform. Casino Plus, Bingo Plus, and LaVie turnover cannot be combined, so players need to qualify using one platform’s turnover only.

How to Qualify for the 3rd Baccarat Tournament Grand Finals

For the Grand Finals qualification period, players must accumulate at least 10,000,000 Baccarat turnover from November 1 to November 20. Just like the Monthly Finals, there is no participant limit.

Turnover is still calculated separately for Casino Plus, Bingo Plus, and LaVie. Even if a player meets the requirement on more than one platform, only one platform’s qualification may be used.

This is a key detail worth remembering before the chase begins. In this tournament, mixing turnover from different platforms is not part of the game plan.

How the Monthly Finals Work

The Monthly Finals follow a four-stage tournament path: Preliminary Round, Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and Finals. Each stage narrows the field until five players reach the final table.

Stage	Participants	Registration / Match Time	Match Format	Ranking / Advancement
Preliminary Round	Unlimited	Registration: 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM; Match: 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM	11 tables, maximum 5 players per table; each player completes 10 consecutive hands	Overall ranking based on final chip count; Top 70 advance to Quarterfinals

Semifinals	20 players	Registration: 6:50 PM; Match: 7:00 PM	5 tables, 4 players per table; 13 official hands per table; 3 pre-dealt hands before official hands	Table-based ranking by final chips; Top 1 player from each table advances to Finals
Finals	5 players	Registration: 7:50 PM; Match: 8:00 PM	1 table, 5 players; 13 official hands; 3 pre-dealt hands before official hands	Final chip count determines Champion, Runner-up, and 2nd Runner-up

For the Monthly Finals Quarterfinals, the 100-player lineup is composed of 70 qualified players plus 10 invited players each from Casino Plus, and LaVie.

Starting from the Quarterfinals, all official hands require mandatory Banker or Player bets. Optional Secret Betting is allowed in the final three hands.

Tournament Game Format

The Baccarat Grand Championship is based on Super 6 Non-Commission Dragon Baccarat with LaVie 7. This format creates a clear baccarat foundation while adding special bet options that can affect player strategy.

A main wager on Player or Banker is required for every hand. Players are not allowed to place wagers on both Player and Banker at the same time.

Side bets are allowed only after a main wager has been placed. In short, the main bet comes first, and the side bets follow after.

Tournament Chips and Betting Limits

Each player receives the same amount of tournament chips. These chips are non-cashable, non-transferable, and may not be borrowed or exchanged.

All tournament chips are collected after each round. So yes, they matter during play, but they are not walking out of the room with you.

Item	Amount
Starting Tournament Chips	2,000,000

Standard Betting Limits

Bet Type	Minimum	Maximum
Banker / Player	100,000	500,000
Tie	1,000	60,000
Pair	1,000	40,000
Super 6	1,000	20,000
Super 6 Dragon	1,000	10,000
Super 6 Phoenix	1,000	20,000
LaVie 7	1,000	5,000
Super Lucky 7	1,000	30,000

Secret Bet Limits

Bet Type	Minimum	Maximum
Banker / Player	200,000	1,000,000
Tie	2,000	120,000
Pair	2,000	90,000
Super 6	2,000	50,000
Super 6 Dragon	2,000	20,000
Super 6 Phoenix	2,000	40,000
LaVie 7	2,000	10,000
Super Lucky 7	2,000	60,000

If a player’s remaining chips fall below the minimum bet amount, the player may only place an all-in wager on either Player or Banker.

Secret Bet Rounds Explained

Starting from the Quarterfinals, the final three hands of each match are designated as Secret Bet rounds. Players may optionally participate by confirming their wagers in writing using the Secret Bet Card.

Secret Bets add a fun layer of mystery to the tournament. Nobody wants to reveal their battle plan too early, especially when the chip race is tight.

Secret Bet rules include:

1. Any wager above the maximum table limit or below the minimum table limit will be settled based on the corresponding maximum or minimum limit.
2. If a player’s remaining chip balance is below the minimum table limit, the player may only place an all-in wager on Player or Banker.
3. Failure to place a Player or Banker wager will result in forfeiture of the match.
4. No card squeezing is allowed during Secret Bet rounds.

Card Squeezing Rules

Card squeezing is only permitted during the Finals. The player with the highest Player or Banker wager for that hand earns the right to squeeze the cards.

If there is a tie for the highest wager, the player who placed the wager first gets the right to squeeze. It is a small rule with big drama, especially when everyone at the table is watching the same cards.

Card squeezing is not allowed during the final three Secret Bet hands. The final stretch keeps the suspense on the wagers and chip counts instead.

Ranking, Advancement, and Tiebreaker Rules

In the Preliminary Round, ranking is based on overall final chip count. If there is a tie in final chip count during the Preliminary Round, the player who registered earlier for the match ranks higher.

Starting from the Quarterfinals, ranking becomes table-based. Players compete directly against others at their table, and the top performer from each table advances.

Starting from the Quarterfinals, any tie will be resolved through a Secret Bet tiebreaker round. This keeps the tournament moving and gives tied players one more chance to prove they have the cooler hand under pressure.

First to Bet Marker

Starting from the Quarterfinals, a “First to Bet” marker rotates each hand. The designated first bettor must place their wager before the remaining players.

This rule helps create order at the table. It also adds a subtle strategic twist, because betting position can affect how players read the table situation.

Prize Crediting and Wagering Requirement

Prizes are credited to the platform under which the player registered. This means the platform used for tournament registration determines where the prize will be issued.

For Casino Plus and Bingo Plus, rewards will be credited within 3 working days. These rewards are subject to a 1x wagering requirement on the designated platform, specifically the Casino Plus Baccarat platform, before withdrawal.

For LaVie, rewards are issued in the form of non-negotiable chips within the LaVie system. Players should take note of this difference before choosing the platform they want to use for qualification and registration.
