Baccarat is a simple game to learn and a great way to have fun with your friends.

We will be discussing the rules of baccarat as well as some strategies that can help you play like a pro.

Baccarat's goal is to draw a hand of two or three cards with a value that is closer to 9 than the banker.

The Card's Value

These are the values of baccarat cards

o Numbered cards have a face value.

10 Jack, Queen, and King count as 0.

One Ace is equal to 1

o You subtract 10 from your total cards if they are worth more than ten. After subtracting 10 from 17, a hand of 8-9 cards will equal 7

Baccarat

One hand is dealt to the Banker, one to the Player. The player can wager on which hand the Banker or Player has closest to the total of 9. A tie can also be placed by the player. Both hands have the same value

Baccarat, a card game, is played from a shoe that can hold 6-8 decks. Bets can be placed before the hands are dealt. The banker hand and player hands are dealt according to set rules. Each hand will have two or three cards.

 

The last digit of the total does not count, so all baccarat hand values are in the range 0-9 inclusive. If the hands have the same values, the hand that has the highest value wins.

Sequence of play

Baccarat is played by starting with two cards per player and two for the bank. A "natural" is an initial hand that has a value of 8-9.

If one hand is a natural, the holder must expose it.

If this happens, play continues with the player hand first, then with the banker hands, as per the following rules.

Rules for the player hand The player who has drawn two additional cards after his first two cards totals 5 or more must stand.

Rules for the banker hand The banker can only draw one card if his first two cards are 0, 1, 2, or 2. If the banker has drawn two cards from his first two cards, which totals 3, 4, 5, 6, or 6, the banker must draw one card.

Place your bets

Banker: 1 (15% commission to the home)

Player: 1 -1

Tie: 8 -1

Baccarat is only one profitable bet, and that is the banker.

You can increase your chances to win when you play Baccarat

1. Anzahl der Decks: Select the game with the fewest decks possible.

2. Commission: If you are able to find one, look for casinos that charge a commission on banker wagers less than 5%.

3. Bet on the banker. This bet has the lowest house advantage and is the best.

4. Money management. Plan your gaming session. Follow it. Don't waste money chasing losses.

5. Don't use baccarat systems. It is foolish to base your gaming decisions upon the results of previous wagers.
