Baccarat Rules

The main aim of Baccarat is to obtain a hand with a point total closest to 9. Tens and picture cards count as zero, aces count as one and 2 through 9 as their face value. If the hand value totals ten points or more, subtract ten, and the remainder is the Baccarat point value of the hand. For example: 8+6=14=4 and 6+4=10=0.

Here you can bet on the banker's hand, the player's hand and on a tie. You can bet on more than one at a time. The player and the banker are then each dealt a two-card hand. In certain cases, the Third Card Rules will be applied (see below). Cards are dealt from a shoe of 6 decks of cards which are shuffled for each round. The winner is the player closest to 9.

If both the player's hand and the banker's hand have equal totals, the result is a 'tie'. If you placed a bet on the 'tie' field, your payout is 9 to 1. If you bet successfully on the player you are paid out 2 to 1 on your bet. If you bet successfully on the banker you are paid 2 to 1 minus 5% bank commission.
