​

​

The game of baccarat was created in Italy in the 1400s by a man named Felix Falguiere or Falguierein. He called the game “baccara,” Italian for “zero”. It is a card game that is commonly played in casinos. It is a game of chance where players compare the value of their hands to determine the winner. The object of the game is to get a count of 9 or closest to it. The hand that holds the higher count wins.

 

Method of Play

  1. Baccarat is typically played with eight decks of cards, and two hands are dealt: the PLAYER’s hand and the BANKER’s hand.

  2. Each hand is initially dealt two cards. The cards have point values; numbered cards 2 through 9 are worth their face value, 10s and face cards (King,Queen,Jack) are worth 0 (zero) and Aces are worth 1.

  3. The total value of a hand is determined by adding up the point values cards. However, if the total value of a hand exceeds 9, on the second digit is considered.

Example: 7 + 8 = 15 and the second digit, 5, is the value.

  1. After the initial two cards are dealt, additional cards may be drawn according to specific rules. These rules vary depending on the total value of the player’s and banker’s hands.

  2. The hand with a value closest to 9 wins the game. In some cases, a third card may be drawn for either the player’s or banker’s hand based on predetermined rules.

  3. Players can bet on either the player’s hand, the banker’s hand or a tie. The payout for winning bets on the player’s hand is 1:1, but a commision of 5% is charged on  banker winning bets. In a “Tie bet”, hands the same value, resulting to tie. The payout for a winning tie bet is 8:1.

 

Baccarat is a straight forward game to play, as the dealer handles most of the actions and follow set of rules for drawing additional cards. It’s a game of chance and plyers do no have many strategic decisions to make.
