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\“ has the higher score, \“banker\“ has the higher score, or a \“tie\“.
The value of cards in Baccarat is specific. Aces are worth 1 point, cards from 2 to 9 are worth their face value, and 10s and face cards (Jack, Queen, King) are worth 0 points. The total score of a hand is the sum of the card values, but only the last digit of the total is considered. For example, a hand with a 7 and an 8 (totaling 15) has a score of 5.
The game begins with both the player and banker receiving two cards each. Depending on the initial total of these cards, a third card may be drawn for either hand according to fixed rules. The hand with a total closest to 9 wins. |
