Short Description
The objective of
the game is to wager on the hand that finishes with a numerical
value closest to a total of 9. You may wager on either the Banker
hand or the Player hand, or on a Tie bet.
Baccarat Rules
Betting options: There are three options a player
may wager on: Player hand, Banker hand or Tie bet.
Card
values:The Player and Banker are dealt two cards each. All tens
and picture cards equal zero. Ace's equal 1. All other cards count
as their face value. If the total value of the cards exceeds 9, the
hand value is adjusted by subtracting 10 from the total.
Example:
| 9+7=16 |
Hand counts 6 |
| 5+5+5=15 |
Hand counts 5 |
| 10+9=19 |
Hand is a "Natural" 9 |
| King+Ace+5=16 |
Hand counts
6 |
When the value of the Player
and Banker hands equal the same total, the hand is considered a Tie.

automatically, according to the third card rules (see below). No
hand will receive more than three cards.
