Learn To Play - Baccarat
The Game:
Firstly it is important to note that the "t" is silent so the word is pronounced bahcahrah. The object of the Baccarat game is to bet on the hand that you believe will be closest to a total of nine.
The Player and Banker are dealt two cards each. At each juncture there are three bets. The "Banker", the "Player" and the "Tie".
To Bet:
The minimum bet is $1 and the maximum is $200. You place the bet by entering the amount you wish to wager, then clicking on either Player, Banker or Tie.
The Rules:
Card Values
All tens and picture cards equal zero.
The Aces are equal to 1.
All other cards count as their face value. If the sum of cards exceeds 9, then the hand value is adjusted by subtracting 10 from the total.
Example:
9+7=16 hand counts 6
5+5+5=15 hand counts 5
10+9=19 hand is a "Natural" 9
King+Ace+5 hand counts 6
The Tie Bet
When a tie occurs, the two hands end up with the same total. Neither the Banker nor the Player loses and the casino pays 8 times the wager amount that was placed on the tie for that hand only.
Third Card Draw Rules
The rules of Baccarat determine whether a third card can be taken, but in the end, the winner is the hand with a total closest to nine. No hand will receive more than three cards.
"Natural"
If either the player's hand or banker's hand total 8-9, the hand is called "Natural". In this case, both player and banker must stand.
If the player's hand total is:
0-5 player hand must draw
6-7 player hand must stand
If the player's hand stands on two cards, then the two card banker hand totaling 3,4,5 must draw and 6-7 must stand.
After the player's hand is dealt a third card, banker's hand receives a third card according to the following rules:
0-2 banker hand must draw
3-6 third card to player hand determines draw or stand
7 banker hand must stand

The Tie Bet
Winning Player hand wagers are paid 1 to 1.
Example: if you bet $5 on the player hand, and the player's hand was closer to 9
than the Banker's hand, you will get your $5 back plus another $5.
Winning Banker hand wagers are paid 1 to 1 but the player must pay a 5% commission to the house.
Example: if you bet $5 on the banker's hand, and the banker's hand was closer to 9 than the player's hand, you will get your $5 back plus another $4.75 ($5 minus $0.25).
Winning Tie bet wagers are paid at 8 to 1.
Example: if you bet $5 on the tie hand, and the banker and player have the same hand count, you will get your $5 plus another $40.
