Baccarat Game rules

Baccarat is a traditional mini baccarat game played between the player and the casino.

The aim of the game is to predict which hand will be the highest. You can also predict a tie.

The game is played with 8, 52-card decks (excluding Jokers), shuffled before each round.

The MIN/MAX sign indicates the minimum and maximum bet that can be placed in any betting area.

Payouts are made according to the paytable in the game. For more information see Payout Schedule.

To view the Paytable, move the pointer over the MIN/MAX sign.

Some features may not be available in PLAYING FOR FUN mode.

Play of hand

Place a single bet or combination of bets, in any of the betting areas (TIE, BANKER, or PLAYER), and start the deal.

The Player and the Banker are dealt either two or three cards. Third cards are dealt based on the third card rules. For more information see Third Card Rules.

The game compares the hand values of the Player and Banker. For more information see Scoring.

The hand with a value closest to 9 wins. Hands of equal value are a tie, and neither hand wins.

Bets are paid according to the Payout Schedule.

Third Card Rules

If the Player or the Banker has 8 or 9, it is known as “natural”, and both hands stand. This rule overrides all other rules.

If neither the Player nor the Banker has 8 or 9 play proceeds as follows:

Player rules

If the Player has 0-5, a third card is dealt. If the player has 6 or 7 the hand stands.

Banker rules

If the Player stands, the Banker draws a third card if the hand has 0-5.

If the Player draws a third card, the value of the card drawn by the Player and the value of the Banker’s hand determines if the Banker gets a third card.

Scoring

The value of the hand is determined by adding the values of the cards in the hand.

Number cards 2-9 count as face value, aces count as 1, and kings, queens, jacks, and 10’s count as 0.

If the value is 10 or more, 10 is subtracted. The value remaining is the hand value (for example, 13 becomes 3).

Payout Schedule

If the Player wins, Player bets pay 2 for 1 (even money).

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

If there is a tie, Tie bets pay 9 for 1, whereas Player or Banker bets are returned (push).
