Baccarat is surprisingly simple to get the hang of if you’re used to card games, and once you get the hang of it it’s a great game of chance which is very winnable and you can practice playing for free. There are two hands, one is the players and the other the bankers, each with two cards initially, and the object is to guess which hand will win, based on a scoring system between 0 and 9. The game is usually played with either 6 or 8 standard card decks.
Scoring is based on the value of the cards in the hand:
2 to 10 |
Face Value |
Face Card |
10 Points |
Aces |
1 Point |
The total of the cards in the hands are added and if the total is more than 10 the first digit is dropped, e.g. 13 becomes 3 and 19 becomes 9.
How to Play Baccarat – Select either the player or banker to win (keep in mind though that if you bet on the banker to win the online casino will take commission of 5% of your bet), or select a tie between the two and place your bet. The two cards are dealt and the scores totalled as above. If either player or banker has a total of 8 or 9 no further cards are drawn. If there is no 8 or 9 there is a third card dealt, which is dealt automatically based on the scores in each hand after two cards. However, if both the banker and player have 9 (a ‘natural’) then the highest total wins.
The best thing to do with this game is visit an online casino site and play online for free until you’ve got the hang of the rules and when the third card is dealt. Once you’ve got that it’s a fast and fun game and you can move from playing for free to playing for real.
