Baccarat is a popular card game played in casinos worldwide. The game involves comparing cards between two hands: the \“player\“ and the \“banker\“. Each baccarat coup has three possible outcomes: \“player\“, \“banker\“, or \“tie\“.
The objective of baccarat is to bet on which hand will have a total value closest to 9. Cards 2 through 9 are worth their face value, aces are worth 1 point, and 10s and face cards are worth 0 points. If the total value of a hand exceeds 9, only the last digit of the total is considered （for example, a hand totaling 15 is worth 5 points）. 
The game begins with both the player and banker receiving two cards each. Depending on the initial total, a third card may be drawn for either hand according to fixed rules. The player\“s hand is always completed first. If the player\“s total is 0-5, they draw a third card; if 6 or 7, they stand.
The banker\“s actions depend on their own hand and whether the player drew a third card. The banker stands on 7, draws on 0-2, and on 3-6 the decision depends on the player\“s third card value. No further cards are drawn once both hands are completed.
Winning bets on player pay 1:1, banker bets pay 0.95:1 （due to 5% commission）, and tie bets typically pay 8:1 or 9:1. Baccarat is known for its simple rules and low house edge, making it attractive to both novice and experienced gamblers. |
