This is the standard Baccarat game, also known as Punto Banco. Each game is played with a new set of 8 regular decks.
The objective of the game is to guess which hand will win, the player\'s or the dealer\'s.
There are three different bets: Player, Dealer and Tie. A player can bet on any single bet or combination of bets
- The Player bet pays even money if the player hand wins.
- The Dealer bet pays even money less a 5% commission if the dealer hand wins.
- The Tie bet pays 9 for 1 (8 to 1) if there is a tie
In case of a tie between the hands, the Player and Dealer bets are returned to the player.
The player and dealer are given two cards each. Then, if the player or dealer has 8 or 9, no more cards are dealt. Else if the sum of the player\'s hand is 5 or less, he gets a third card.
When the player is finished, it is decided whether the dealer should get a third card or not.
| Sum of dealer\'s first two cards | Draw if the player\'s third card is: | Do not draw if the player\'s third card is: |
| 0,1,2 | Always draw a card | Always draw a card |
| 3 | 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9 | 8 |
| 4 | 2,3,4,5,6,7 | 0,1,8,9 |
| 5 | 4,5,6,7 | 0,1,2,3,8,9 |
| 6 | 6,7 | 0,1,2,3,4,5,8,9 |
| 7 | Always stand | Always stand |
| 8,9 | No one draws | No one draws |
The winning hand is decided by summing the values of the cards of each hand and comparing.
- 10, Jack, Queen and King has the value 0.
- 2-9 have their normal value.
- Ace has the value 1.
If the sum is higher than 10, 10 is subtracted. If necessary, subtract 10 until the sum is less than 10.
