Baccarat Rules
If you're looking for a game that proceeds pretty well, and doesn't
necessitate too much concentration, then baccarat is your game. All
you actually need to do is choose how much you want to bet, make your
bet selection from the 3 available, and let the dealer do the rest.
Baccarat is also a traditional favorite of the high rollers, so bet
limits for this game are generally pretty high.
The rules of the game are simple...
Number cards less than 10 are worth face value, the Ace is worth 1
and 10's and picture cards are worth 0.
The game begins with the player placing a bet in the 'player', 'banker',
or 'tie' boxes...now the dealer does the rest. In baccarat, 'banker'
and 'player' refer to bet options rather than game participants.
Once bets are own, 2 cards are dealt to the 'banker' and 2 cards are
dealt to the 'player'. The value of the 2 card hand is equal to the
right digit of the 2 card sum. 5 and 7 = 2, Ace and 10 =1, 3 and 4 =7
and so on.
A third card may be dealt to the player and/or banker according to
the following rules:
- (overriding rule) where either player or banker has a score of 8
or 9, no further cards are dealt.
- where the player's total is 5 or less, the player hits, otherwise
the player stands.
- if the player stands, the banker must hit on 5 or less.
