The Basic Rules Of Baccarat

Playing Baccarat in a land based casino can be quite complicated. First off, you need a lot of money to be able to play because this game is usually played by high rollers. Secondly, if you do not have to proper dress code, you will be asked to leave the table. If this is inconvenient for you, you could always play from the comfort of home in your pyjamas on online casinos. The game will also be much cheaper on online casinos compared to land based casinos.

Baccarat Rules

Here are the card values:

• Cards from 2 to 9 have their face value.
• The 10 and face cards(Jack, Queen, King) have a value of zero.

The whole intention of the game is to get the closest possible to the number 9 without exceeding it. The winning player is the one who is the closest to the number 9. In Baccarat, you have three possibilities of bets: the Banker, the Player, or a Tie. Once all the bets have been placed, 2 cards will be dealt to both the Banker and the Player.

If the Player has 9 points with the 2 cards he has been dealt, he wins automatically. If the Player gets a 6 and 5 for example, he will have 1 point instead of 11 which will prevent him from a bust.

If the Player didn’t receive a 9 from the first 2 cards that were dealt, he may draw additional cards to get the closest possible to 9. All bets from the Player gives a even payout. It is the same for the Banker however you must pay a certain tax to the casino because the Banker usually wins most of the time.

So this is it, these are the rules of Baccarat. They are quite simple and very easy to follow and the game-play is quite fun. Like every other casino game, depending on which online casino you play, there might be some rule variation but if you know the basics, you should be good.
