Rules
for Playing Baccarat
The
object of baccarat is to reach a point total of 9. Aces
count as one, 2 through 9 as their face value, and tens
and picture cards count as zero.
Place
your wager on the banker's hand and/or on the player's hand
and/or on a tie. The player and the banker are then each
dealt a two-card hand. Following standard baccarat rules,
a third card is dealt to the player and/or the banker.
The
player closest to 9 wins and is paid even money (1 to 1).
If both the player's hand and the banker's hand have equal
totals, the game result is a 'tie'. If you have placed a
bet on the 'tie' field, your payoff is 9 for 1.
All
winning wagers for the banker and the player pay even money.
A 5% commission (vigorish) is charged on winning banker
bets.
Card
Values
Ace
= one point.
Picture
cards and tens = zero.
All
other cards carry the point value stated on the card.
If
the cards in a hand exceed ten points, subtract ten, and
the remainder is the baccarat point value of the hand. For
example: 7+6=13, counts as a 3 and 4+6=10, counts as 0.
