Baccarat is a popular card game played in casinos worldwide. It is a comparing card game played between two hands, the \“player\“ and the \“banker\“. Each round of play, known as a coup, has three possible outcomes: \“player\“ has the higher score, \“banker\“ has the higher score, or a \“tie\“.
The game\“s objective 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 a hand\“s total exceeds 9, only the second digit of the total is considered (e.g., a total of 15 becomes 5).
Baccarat is known for its simple rules and low house edge, making it attractive to high rollers. It is often featured in James Bond films, contributing to its sophisticated image. |
