Two hands are dealt in Baccarat – The Banker’s hand and the Player’s hand. Prior to each deal, the player wagers on whether the Player’s hand or the Banker’s hand is closest to a total of 9. The player also has the option to wager on a tie (i.e. both the banker’s and player’s hands total the same). 8 decks of 52 cards are used.
How to Play
Betting: Your chips are stacked by denomination ($1, $5, $25, $100, $500) at the bottom of the game window. Select the amount you would like to wager on a given hand by clicking the left mouse button on the chip of that denomination to activate it.
Next, place your bet on the Baccarat table by clicking on a bet field. To specify a bet that is not equal to an existing chip denomination, simply click on another chip denomination after placing your previous chip on the table. For example, to bet $30, click on the $25 chip and place it on the table then click on the $5 chip and place it on top of the $25 chip.
By clicking on the right mouse button you will withdraw your entire wager. Your total bet will be displayed in the “Bet” just below “User”. You may repeat your last bet by clicking on the shortcuts which are summarized below. If you place a wager that is lower than the minimum table bet limit, your bet amount will be automatically adjusted to the minimum bet amount.
Dealing: After the player has pressed either the Deal or Pass button, the Player and Banker are dealt two cards. All tens and picture cards are worth zero, aces are worth 1, and all other cards are worth their face value. If the value of cards exceeds 9, then the value is adjusted by subtracting 10 from the total.
