Baccarat Scoring

• The value of the hand is determined by adding the values of the cards in the hand.
• Number cards (2-10) count as face value, aces count as either 1 or 11, and kings, queens, and jacks count as 10.
• If the value is 10 or more, 10 is subtracted. The value remaining is the hand value (for example, 13 becomes 3).

• If the Banker wins, Banker bets pay 2 for 1 (even money) less a 5% commission. The win will be rounded down if necessary.
