Baccarat is a popular card game that requires a dealer to follow specific dealing rules. Here are the key rules to keep in mind:
Shuffling and Cutting: The dealer must shuffle the cards thoroughly and cut them to ensure fairness.
Dealing the Cards: The dealer deals two cards to the player, banker, and themselves. The player and banker hands are compared, and the winner is determined based on the closest value to nine.
Third Card Rule: If the player or banker hand totals eight or nine, a third card is not drawn. If the player hand totals five or less, the player draws a third card. If the banker hand totals five or less, the banker draws a third card under certain conditions.
Scoring: Baccarat hands are scored by adding the values of the cards. Face cards and tens count as zero, while Aces count as one. The goal is to get as close to nine as possible without going over. |
