Baccarat is a popular card game in India, especially in casinos in Goa and Sikkim. The game uses standard decks of cards and follows simple rules where players bet on either the Player, Banker, or Tie hands.
The objective is to have a hand value closest to 9. Cards 2-9 are worth their face value, Aces count as 1, and 10s and face cards are worth 0. If the total exceeds 9, only the last digit is considered （e.g., 15 becomes 5）.
In India, local variations may include side bets or cultural twists, but the core rules remain consistent with international standards. The game is easy to learn, making it accessible to both new and experienced players in Indian gaming establishments. |
