How to play

The objective in Baccarat is to correctly guess which of three possible propositions will win the round: player, banker or tie. Whichever hand is closest to nine is the winner. Cards are given point values as follows. Face cards and tens have no value. 2 - 9 are counted at face value.

Aces are valued at 1. Counts that reach double digits drop the first digit and are revalued (so 15 becomes 5).

For each coup, two cards are dealt face up. If either the player or banker or both achieve a total of 8 or 9 at this stage, the coup is finished and the result is announced: a player win, a banker win, or tie.

If neither hand has eight or nine, the drawing rules are applied to determine whether the player should receive a third card. Then, based on the value of any card drawn to the player, the drawing rules are applied to determine whether the banker should receive a third card.

The coup is then finished, the outcome is announced, and winning bets are paid out.

If the player has an initial total of 0–5, they draw a third card. If the player has an initial total of 6 or 7, they stand.

If the player stood, the banker regards only their own hand and acts according to the same rule as the player.

If the player drew a third card, the banker acts according to the following rules.

If the banker total is 2 or less, then the banker draws a card, regardless of what the player third card is.

If the banker total is 3, then the banker draws a third card unless the player third card was an 8.

If the banker total is 4, then the banker draws a third card if the player third card was 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

If the banker total is 5, then the banker draws a third card if the player third card was 4, 5, 6, or 7.

If the banker total is 6, then the banker draws a third card

if the player third card was a 6 or 7. If the banker total is 7, then the banker stands.
