In Baccarat, two hands are dealt: the player’s hand and the banker’s hand. Each hand receives two cards, and the values are calculated by adding the card values together, with tens and face cards counting as zero. If the total exceeds nine, only the last digit is considered (e.g., a total of 15 becomes 5). Players can bet on either hand winning, or a tie. The game follows specific rules for drawing a third card, depending on the initial totals of the hands. The excitement of Baccarat comes from its straightforward rules and the chance to win big on relatively simple bets.
Baccarat Example
For example, if a player bets on the banker’s hand and the cards dealt are a 7 and an 8, the banker’s total is 5 (15 becomes 5). If the player’s hand consists of a 6 and a 4, totaling 0 (10 becomes 0), the banker wins, and the player receives a payout based on the bet placed.
