A simple but engaging game,
Baccarat is a popular choice for many. Skill and luck combine in
Baccarat to create incredible chances and tremendous
payouts.
Object of the Game
The player's objective is to
correctly predict which of the two hands (Player or Banker) will
have a point total closest to 9
How to Play
Place your wager on the banker's
hand and/or on the player's hand and/or on a tie. The minimum bet is
1 chip and the maximum bet is 100 chips. The player and the banker
are then each dealt a two-card hand. Following standard baccarat
rules, a third card is dealt to the player and/or the banker.
The player closest to 9 wins and
is paid even money (1 to 1). If both the player's hand and the
banker's hand have equal totals, the game result is a "tie". If you
have placed a bet on the "tie" field, your payoff is 8 for 1.
All winning wagers for the
banker and the player pay even money. A 5% commission is charged on
winning banker bets.
Card Values
Ace = one point.
Picture cards and tens =
zero.
All other cards carry the point
value stated on the card.
If the cards in a hand exceed
ten points, subtract ten, and the remainder is the baccarat point
value of the hand. For example: 7+6=13, counts as a 3 and 4+6=10,
counts as 0.
