Baccarat Rules Chart: A Simple Guide for Indian Players
Baccarat is a popular card game in Indian casinos and online platforms. Here’s a concise rule chart to help you master the game:
1. Basic Rules
Objective: Compare the total value of two hands (Player and Banker) to determine which is closest to 9.
Decks: 8 standard decks (no jokers).
Players: 1 Banker, 1 Player, and 1 neutral Player (for tie bets).
2. Point Calculation
Value of Cards:
Numbers 2-9 = face value.
10, Jack, Queen, King = 0.
Ace = 1.
Total Points: Sum the values of all cards. If the total exceeds 9, subtract 10 until it’s ≤9.
Example: 8 + 5 = 13 → 13 - 10 = 3.
3. How to Play
Place Bets: Choose between:
Banker: Bet on the Banker’s hand.
Player: Bet on the Player’s hand.
Tie: Bet on both hands having the same value.
Dealing:
The Banker deals first, giving 1 card to the Player and 1 card to themselves.
The Player then receives a third card if their initial total is 0-5.
Compare Hands:
The hand closest to 9 wins.
If both tie, the Banker wins (unless a Tie bet is placed).
4. Bet Payouts
Banker: 95% payout (1:0.95).
Player: 95% payout (1:0.95).
Tie: 8:1 payout (rarely recommended due to high house edge).
5. Key Exceptions
Third Card Rules:
Player: Draw if total is 0-5; stand if 6-9.
Banker: Follow specific rules (e.g., stand on 6-7, draw on 0-5).
Tie Rules: Most tables exclude ties unless explicitly bet on.
6. Common Myths vs. Facts
❌ “The Banker always wins.”
✅ Facts: Banker wins ~49% of the time, Player ~44%, Tie ~7%.
❌ “Tie bets guarantee profit.”
✅ Facts: Tie has a 97.3% house edge (avoid unless necessary).
7. Tips for Indian Players
Avoid Tie bets.
Manage bankroll carefully (Baccarat has a high risk of rapid loss).
Practice with free online versions first.
