Baccarat Rules - How to play
Baccarat `s objective is to assemble a
hand of two or three cards with a
points value as close to nine
as possible.
The perfect hand is one that totals nine
with the first two cards.
Eight is the second-best hand and,
along with the nine, it constitutes the two
"natural" hands. The
only hand that will beat a natural eight is a natural nine.
If any player hand or the Bank has a natural eight or nine,
the others may
not draw a third card. In the case of a tie, bets
are called off.
Aces count as one, picture cards as 10 and
the others their face value.
If your hand total is in double
figures, then the first figure is ignored.
So a hand totaling 18
would count as eight.
The player with the most money usually
is declared the Banker.
The Banker deals three hands of two
cards each, face down. These hands are for
two players, one to
the right and one to the left of the banker, plus his own hand.
Other players at the table may bet on either hand (cheval)
or both to beat
the Banker's hand. If a player declares "banco",
it means they are betting the
total value of the bank's funds
and all other bets are withdrawn.
If either player has a
count less than eight or nine, he may stand (saying "non")
or
get one more card face up (saying "carte"). The player must stand on
six
or seven and must draw on four or less. Casinos usually take
their
percentage of the bank and bets as their fee for the
game.
