Baccarat
is an exciting card/table game found in most casinos
around the world. To begin, you have 3 selections on
where to place your wager: bet the player’s hand will
win; bet the banker’s hand will win; bet the game will
result in a tie.
The winner
is the hand with the point value closest to 9. In the
event of a tie, any wagers placed on the player or the
banker are returned. If you wager on a tie and the two
hands result in a tie, your payoff is 8 to 1.
To play,
place your wager on the player’s hand, the bank’s hand,
or on a tie. Once your wager is placed, click “DEAL”.
The player and the banker are each dealt their two-card
hand. According to standard baccarat rules outlined
below [“Third Card Rules”], a third card may be dealt to
the player and/or the banker.

CARD
VALUES: |
|
Ace = one [1] |
|
Face cards and 10’s = zero [0] |
|
All other cards count as their numbered
value; for example, the seven [7] of
hearts has a value of 7 |
If the
cards in either hand have a combined value of ten or
more points, subtract ten. The remainder is the baccarat
point value of the hand. For example: 6+7=13, which
counts as a 3 in baccarat; 9+9=18, which counts as 8.
Face cards and 10’s count as 0, so for example 9+King=9.
The
following baccarat rule charts govern when the player
and/or the banker will automatically draw a third card:

has separate limits for the lone tie bet and the tie bet
that is accompanied by a player or banker bet:
