Baccarat Rules
|
|
TO
PLAY |
|
A player will
place a wager on which of two hands (the "Player" or the "Banker") will
have a total point closest to 9. Each hand will receive at least two cards
but no more than three. Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards. The
first and third cards dealt from the shoe constitute the "Player's" hand,
and the second and forth cards constitute the "Banker's" hand. |
|
Face cards and
tens count as 0; Aces count as 1, and all other cards count as face value.
If required, a third card is dealt to each hand according to specific rules
outlined in the chart below. |
|
The hand with
the highest point total closest to nine wins. |
|
Winning bets
are paid even money. However, a winning "Banker" bet pays a 5% commission
which is withheld from winnings after each such bet. |
|
If both hands
result in identical totals, the "Tie" bet wins, paying 8 to 1. When a "Tie"
occurs, all bets on the "Player" and the "Banker" are neither paid nor taken.
