BACCARAT
Choose which hand you choose to play, the Players hand (pays 1:1), the Bankers hand (pays 1:1 less a 5% house commission), or a tie (pays 8:1). The Player and the Banker then receive 2 cards each. The object of the game is to attain a total as close to 9 as possible. Aces are worth 1, face cards and tens are worth 0 the remaining cards are worth their face value. If the total of the hand exceeds nine, the value of the right digit is taken. For example, a 9 and a 6 (15) would equate to 5.
The rest of each round is dictated by the following rules:
- If either the Player's or the Banker's hand totals 8 or 9, neither player receives a third card and the hand closest to nine wins.
- The Player's hand will always hit on a total of 5 or less and will stand on 6 or higher.
- If the Player stands, the Banker will also hit on a total of 5 or less and will stand on a total of 6 or more.
-
If the Player takes a third card, the Banker proceeds based on the following table. The Bankers response is based on the Player's third card.
