Baccarat Strategy
How to play Baccarat ?
Playing baccarat is easy after the bet is placed on one of three bets
no decisions will be made. The three bets available are: The Player’s
hand, the Banker’s hand, or a Tie. Winning bets on the banker and
Players hand both pays even money, a winning tie bet pays 8 to 1. The
hand that holds two or three cards totaling closest to nine win's.
Card point values:
Ace = 1
2, 3 ,4 ,5 ,6 ,7 ,8 ,9 = Face value in points
10, J, Q, K = 0
Example of how the hands total is calculated: If the two cards given to
a player were an 8 and 9 this would total a score of 8+9=17, but since
you can only have scores of 0-9 and cant bust this would count as 7 instead.
Playing the game
The deal will rotate among the players, players can however decline to
deal and pass it to the next player. It is customary for the dealer to
bet on the banker because as long as the Banker´s bet win's. he
gets to keep dealing, but the dealer can make whatever bet he wishes.
Play begins with all the players making one of the three bets, after the
bets are out the dealer gives each player and himself two cards.
| A Tie at any point in the game ends the
hand and pays off all Tie bets. If either the player or the banker has a total of an 8 or a 9 they both stand and the one closer to 9 wins. If neither player or dealer has 8 or 9 after getting their two cards a third card may be dealt. If the player's total is 5 or less then the player hits, otherwise the player stands. If the player stands, then the banker hits on a total of 5 or less. If the player does hit then use the chart to the right to determine if the banker hits (H) or stands (S) |
