Baccarat
Baccarat
is a sophisticated game which originated in Europe. Players can wager on
the player, the banker, or a tie, while trying to obtain a total card
value closest to nine. Two hands of two cards are dealt, one representing
the player's hand and one representing the banker's hand. Depending on the
value of the hands, a third card may be drawn for each hand. The winning
hand is the one with a card total closest to nine.
Baccarat Rules
Baccarat uses a four deck shoe.
No hand receives more than three cards.
Tens and face cards are worth zero, aces are worth one and all other
cards are worth their face value. If the value of a hand exceeds nine,
then the value is adjusted by subtracting 10 from the total. No hand
receives more than three cards.
Third Card Rule
If either the player or the banker has a total of an 8 or a 9 on the
first two cards they both stand. This rule overrides all other rules.
If the player's total is 5 or less then the player hits, otherwise the
player stands.
When the player and banker hands are equal then the hand is declared a
tie.
After the first two cards are dealt to both the player and banker, a
third card may be dealt, subject to the Third Card Rule. The player's hand
is always played first followed by the banker's hand. If the player
stands, then the banker hits on a total of 5 or less. If the player does
hit then use the chart below to determine if the banker hits (H) or stands
(S).

In baccarat, if you bet on:
- Player and win, you get paid 1:1
- Banker and win, you get paid 1:1 (less 5% house commission)
- Tie and win, you get paid 8:1 (if the tie wager mentioned above is
part of a combination bet; for example, a tie wager plus a player hand
wager, and the outcome is a tie, then the player hand wager becomes a push
and the payout results from the tie wager alone).
