## What is Pocket Bacc?

Pocket Bacc is a professional scoreboard and dealer assistant designed for playing baccarat at home with real cards. 

Whether you're learning the rules, practicing dealing, or running full shoes with friends, this app handles the complexity so you can focus on the game. 

WHAT IT DOES Pocket Bacc combines two essential tools:  

1. Dealer Assistant (Portrait Mode) Enter cards as you deal them. The app automatically applies official baccarat rules—third card draws, naturals, banker logic—and tells you the outcome. Perfect for learning proper dealing procedure or guiding players who don't know the rules yet. 

2. Professional Scoreboard (Landscape Mode) Full casino-style road tracking system:
Big Road with automatic pattern tracking
Bead Plate (complete shoe history)
All 3 derived roads: Big Eye Boy, Small Road, Cockroach Pig
Dragon tail support for long runs
Natural 8/9 detection with star badges
Panda 8 and Dragon 7 side bet tracking
Live statistics and win streaks

HOW IT WORKS:
 Use real playing cards at home. Deal the hand. Enter the cards into the app. The app shows you the correct outcome and updates the scoreboard automatically. No guessing about third-card rules. No memorizing banker draw tables. The app handles the logic while you handle the cards.

### 5/5 — Enjoying this app

*2026-03-11*

This app has made me it easy for me to understand how drawing card rules work. As a beginner I would feel intimidated looking at the real baccarat boards and how it works. Now with this app, in the comfort of my home I can learn how to play it the visuals my self, which makes me really enjoy it like a board game at home

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2026-02-08*

Great app! It’s great for both beginners and experienced players. I am using it when dealing the game at home.

**Developer response:** Hello, 

First off thank you so much for checking out the app! 

New update is out, I made sure to add portrait mode, and also made sure all buttons appear on screen without hiding the dealer magic and undo hand buttons.

### 2/5 — Good but needs some work

*2026-01-23*

There doesn’t seem to be a way to delete hands once you enter them. It only works in landscape mode and the AI button is obscured. Unless you can score perfectly (no mistakes), then it’s not worth it without these problems being corrected. It does have the potential to be a 5 star app with an update correcting the problems.
