Baccarat is a popular card game played in casinos worldwide. The game involves comparing cards between two hands: the Player and the Banker. Each round of play has three possible outcomes: Player, Banker, or Tie.
To start, both the Player and Banker receive two cards each. The goal is to have a hand 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 counts (e.g., a 7 and 6 totaling 13 is worth 3 points).
Depending on the initial hand values, a third card may be drawn for either hand according to fixed rules. Players bet on which hand will win or if the round will end in a tie before the cards are dealt. Baccarat is known for its simple rules and low house edge, making it attractive to both new and experienced players. |
