Rules
Baccarat is played with six decks; cards are
reshuffled after each hand.
You can choose whether you want to bet on the
Dealer, Player, Tie or any combination of the
three.
The Player always goes first.
The Player hand draws another card if its total
is 0-5, otherwise it does not draw another card.
Play now proceeds to the banker.
If the Banker hand totals 7, 8 or 9, the Banker
does not get another card.
If the Banker's first two cards total 0, 1 or
2, then the Banker draws one card, otherwise,
the Banker draws cards according to this table:
Card Values
The
suits of the cards have no
meaning in the game. |
Cards
2 through 9 count as face value. |
10,
Jack, Queen, and King count as 0. |
Ace
counts as 1. |
To
calculate the score for the hand, add
the values of each card and drop the ten's
digit. |
For example:
A
hand with a seven of hearts and a seven
of spades scores as follows:
7 + 7 = 14 - the ten's digit = 4 |
A
hand with 3 sevens has a score of 1:
7 + 7 + 7 = 21 - the ten's digit = 1 |
The Player can win if:
The hand wagered on has the higher total.
If the Player bets on a Tie, and the banker
and the Player totals are equal.
If you bet on Player and win, you win even money.
A $5 wager pays back your $5, plus an additional
$5.
If you bet on Banker and win, you win even money
minus a 5% commission*. A $5 wager pays back
your $5, plus an additional $4.75.
If you bet on Tie and win, you win 9 times your
wager. A $5 wager pays back your $5, plus an
additional $45.
*Note: The commission is 5% of the bet and is rounded
up to the next quarter. For example, a minimum
bet of $6 would be a commission of 50 cents.
(5% of $6 = 30 cents, but since the commission
is rounded up to the next 25 cents; the commission
is actually 50 cents. 5% of $11 = 55 cents,
which makes the actual commission 75 cents.)
The Player loses if:
The hand wagered on is not the highest hand.
The Player wagers on a Tie and the banker hand
and the Players hand are not equal.
If the Player wagers on the Banker or Player
and the result is a Tie, the wager is a push.
