Baccarat rules

Baccarat rules make it a game of betting. No rules exist for drawing cards when it comes to players, though. It is a game where the players no longer need to make decisions after making their bets. You simply need to decide who to make bets on and the amount that you want to bet. The rest depends solely on luck.

How to Play

When it comes to Baccarat, two hands exist: that of the player and that of the banker. The cards appear from a shoe, which has up to eight shuffled card decks. Players can then bet on one of the hands or on a tie. Also, when it comes to the rules of Baccarat, each hand can just have up to three cards a deal.

The Baccarat winner depends on the last score, which will be calculated this way:

  • Face cards and 10s have a value of 0.
  • Aces have a value of 1.
  • to 9 have the value of their own faces.
  • The Baccarat card score will be summed up. Whenever this value goes over 9 into the two-digit zone, the initial digit will be discarded.

Other Rules

The rules of Baccarat are very clear and get done without players intervening by the online software or the live dealer. This is what the rules look like:

  • The dealer will deal two cards for each hand out of the shoe.
  • When a hand gets a score of 8 to 9, this is considered a natural. When this is the case, the hand will stand automatically. It is only possible to tie a natural with a higher one.

The following rules then help the game progress:

  • When the first cards of the player are lower than 6, he has to get another card.
  • When the first cards of the banker are higher than 6, he has to stand.
  • When the first score stands at 0 to 2, the final card has to be drawn by the banker.
  • When it stands at 3 with the player holding a third card of 0 - 9, the banker has to get a third card.
  • When it stands at 4 with the player holding a third card of 2 - 7, the banker has to get a third card.
  • When it stands at 5 with the player holding a third card of 4 - 7, the banker has to get a third card.
  • If not, the banker has to stand, finishing the game.
