Baccarat is a popular card game played in casinos worldwide. The rules are simple and easy to learn. The game involves two hands: the Player and the Banker. Players bet on which hand will have a total 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. If the total exceeds 9, only the last digit counts. For example, a 7 and 8 total 15, but the score is 5.
The game starts with two cards dealt to each hand. Depending on the totals, a third card may be drawn based on fixed rules. The hand with the highest score wins. Bets on the Player pay even money, while Banker bets have a commission. |
