Baccarat Explained:
In Baccarat, two cards are dealt to the Player hand and two to the
Banker hand. You are not the "Player." The Player is just one hand on
which you can bet. The goal of Baccarat is to predict which hand will
score closest to nine points. You can bet on the Player hand, on the
Banker hand, or on a Tie.
A hand of eight or nine points is considered a natural and automatically
wins, unless there is a tie. If both hands have a natural, the hand with
the highest point value wins. However, if you bet on the Banker or
Player hand and both hands have naturals of equal point value; your bet
is pushed back to you.
In the event that neither hand has a natural, each hand is dealt a third
card according to rules governing how the Player and Banker hands are
dealt. Please see rules below.
Point Values in Baccarat:
Cards 2 through 9 = face value
10's and Face Cards = 0 points
Aces = 1 point
Calculate Points in Baccarat:
Add the values of all cards together. If the value of the cards is
greater than 9 points, drop the digit in the tens position. For example:
21 - digit in tens position = 1 point
