Playing Method

Baccarat is a comparing card game playing between two hands: the player and the banker. The dealer deals two cards to player's hand and banker's hand. When each hand has stood or drew the card, the outcome is determined by comparing the score of each hand. Each baccarat game has three possible results: player win, banker win or tie

Types of Bet

Rules 

1. cards 2-9 are worth face value, 10s and face cards (J, Q, K) are worth zero, and Aces are worth 1 point. The score of a hand is the sum of all cards modulo 10, which is equivalent to the rightmost digit in the sum. For example, a hand consisting of 2 and 3 is worth 5(2+3=5); but a hand consisting of 6 and 7 is worth 3(6+7=13). A hand consisting of 4, 6 and 10 is worth zero(4+6+10=20).
2. If either the player or the banker (or both) achieves a total of 8 or 9 on the initial deal (known as a 'natural'), no further cards are drawn and the outcome is immediately determined by comparing the two totals. If neither has a natural, the play proceeds as follows:
3. The order of drawing card is: 'player','Banker'. Rules of drawing card:

Player

If the Player has an initial total of 0-5, he draws a third card. If the Player has an initial total of 6 or 7, he stands.

Banker

If the Player stood pat (i.e. has only two cards), the Banker draws a third card if he has 0-5 and stands if he has 6 or 7.

If the Player drew a third card, the Banker acts according to the following more complex rules:

• If the Player drew a 2 or 3, the Banker draws if he has 0-4, and stands if he has 5-7.
• If the Player drew a 4 or 5, the Banker draws if he has 0-5, and stands if he has 6-7.
• If the Player drew a 6 or 7, the Banker draws if he has 0-6, and stands if he has 7.
• If the Player drew an 8, the Banker draws if he has 0-2, and stands if he has 3-7.
• If the Player drew an ace, 9, 10, or face-card, the Banker draws if he has 0-3, and stands if he has 4-7.
