Baccarat Rules And Strategy | Baccarat Card Game Basics |
Following are some baccarat rules and strategy for learning to play the card game, up until now only high rollers played. You will also find many sources on our website where you can download baccarat games and play free.
Baccarat begins after the croupiers (dealers)
make the shoe (shuffle the eight decks of cards and place them in the plastic
box). The players (you and the other customers at the table) place a wager
on either the Banks hand or the Players hand. Wagers having been placed
two cards are dealt to each hand the first two being the players hands cards.
(those betting the players hand) the second two cards for the banks hand.
A third card may be drawn by either side in accordance with the rules below.
The winning hand is the one with the point total closest to nine after all
the cards are dealt. Tens, cards that total ten and picture cards count
as zero. An ace counts as one, numbered cards one thru nine count at face
value. If the cards total a two digit number, only the last digit counts.
e.g. 5+7=12, 12 counts as 2 , king+7 = 7
Bank and player bets are paid even money but there is a 5% commission charged
on all winning banker bets. (in the way the card are drawn the bank has
a slight advantage).
A bet on the tie hand pays 8 to 1.
Rules summarizing when a third card is to be drawn.
1. If either the player or the bank have a total of 8 or 9 on the first
two cards no further cards are drawn . The resulting hand is called a natural
and the hand is over.
2. If the players total is less than or equal to 5 the players hand draws
a third card.
3. If the player does not draw a third card, then the banker's hand stands
on 6 or more and takes a third card on a total of 5 or less. If the player
does take a third card then the rules below will determine if the bank takes
a third card.
4. If the banks total is 2 or less then bank draws a card, regardless of
what the players third card is.
5. If the banks total is 3 then the bank draws a third card unless the players
third card was an 8.
6. If the banks total is 4 then the bank draws a third card unless the players
third card was a 0,1,8,or 9.
7. If the banks total is 5 then the bank draws a third card if the players
third card was 4,5,6,or 7.
8. If the banks total is 6 then the bank draws a third card if the players
third card was a 6 or 7.
9. If the banks total is 7 then the bank stands.
It is not necessary to memorize these rules to play , they are automatic
and only on a rare occasion is a mistake made, and quickly corrected . You
are a player not to be confused with the players hand or the bank being
the casino. You as a player may bet either side. These rules apply to both
Mini and the Big baccarat tables.
