Live Casino Tutorial

Baccarat is a simple yet exciting card game where the banker and the player each receive two initial cards. Each side can have a maximum of three cards. Players can bet on either the banker or the player, with the side closest to 9 points winning. Of course, you can also bet on a tie (where the banker and player have the same total points). This is the charm of baccarat: simple rules and extreme enjoyment.

Baccarat Card Values

Face cards (J, Q, K) and 10 are worth 0 points, Aces are worth 1 point, and other cards are worth their face value. The value of each hand is calculated by adding up the total points and taking the last digit of the sum. For example, a hand with K, 3, and 5 has a point value of 8 (0 + 3 + 5 = 8).

Betting Types and Payouts

1. Banker Win: Pays 0.95:1
2. Player Win: Pays 1:1
3. Tie: Pays 8:1

Baccarat Third Card Rule

The rules for drawing a third card in baccarat are as follows:

1. Player’s Hand:

   • If the player’s total is 8 or 9, they get a Natural, and no more cards are drawn.
   • If the player’s total is 6 or 7, they stand.
   • If the player’s total is 0-5, they draw a third card.

2. Banker’s Hand:

   • The banker’s drawing rules depend on the player’s third card:
     • If the banker’s total is 2 or less, they draw a card regardless of the player’s hand.
     • If the banker’s total is 3, they draw a card unless the player’s third card is an 8.
     • If the banker’s total is 4, they draw a card if the player’s third card is 2-7.
     • If the banker’s total is 5, they draw a card if the player’s third card is 4-7.
     • If the banker’s total is 6, they draw a card if the player’s third card is 6 or 7.
     • If the banker’s total is 7, they stand.
