Baccarat (correctly pronounced "BAH-kah-rah") is a high rollers game. The rules are easy and can be mastered in a few minutes.
- The object of online baccarat is to correctly predict whether the banker's hand or the player's hand will win. Alternatively you can predict a tie
- The value of a baccarat hand is determined by adding the values of its individual cards
- Tens and face cards count as zero
- Other cards count as their numerical value
- Only the last digit is used. Therefore, online baccarat hands all have values from 0 - 9
- The hand with the higher value wins
- If the hands have the same value, the game results in a tie
- Initially, both the banker and the player are dealt two cards
- If the two initial cards total 8 or 9, the hand is called a "natural", and the game will end at that point
- If not a natural, standard Baccarat "third card rules" determine if a hand should receive a third and final card
- Winning baccarat bets on the player's hand are paid at 1:1 odds
- If you bet on the banker, a 5% commission is charged on winnings, making the net odds on banker bets 0.95 to 1
- A winning baccarat wager on a tie bet is paid at 8:1 odds
- If the game result in a tie, bets on the banker or player are returned.
