Baccarat

Baccarat is a popular casino card game. The game starts by players put up bet either for the Banker, the Player, or Tie(both hands tie). One card is then dealt face up to Banker and the Player and then followed by another card. Sometimes you may see duplicate cards on the table, this is because two packs of cards are shuffled together and being used. Card ace is counted as one, card 10 and all the face cards are counted as 0, all other cards are counted as the card’s number. The two cards of each hand are totaled which is the value of the hand. If the result is double digit number keep the right most digit as the hand’s value. Therefore the value of each hand ranges from 0 to 9. When the Player or the Banker has a hand value of 8 or 9, the game stops. When the Player’s hand total is 5 or less, it draws a third card. If the Player does not draw a third card, the Banker stands on 6 or more and draws a third card on 5 or less. If the Player draws a third card, The Banker can draw a third card :-

If the Banker’s hand has a value of 2 or less.
If the Banker’s hand value is 3 and the Player’s third card is not an 8.
If the Banker’s hand value is 4 and the Player’s third card is not 0, 1, 8, or 9.
If the Banker’s hand value is 5 and the Player’s third card is 4, 5, 6, or 7.
If the Banker’s hand value is 6 and the Player’s third card is 6, or 7.

After the Banker draws its third card or stand at two cards, the game stop. You win the games if you bet for the Banker and the Banker’s hand is higher than the Player, your bet is returned plus a payment of 0.95 times of your bet. You also win the game if you bet for the Player and the Player’s hand is higher than the Banker, your bet is then returned plus a payment of amount equal to your bet. You also win if you bet for Tie, and both hands have equal value, your bet is returned plus a payment of 8 times of your bet amount. Otherwise you lose your bet.
