Baccarat is a popular card game typically found in casinos. It's a comparing card game played between two hands, the "Player" and the "Banker." Each baccarat coup (round of play) has three possible outcomes: "Player" (the player has the higher score), "Banker," and "Tie."
Here's a quick rundown on how to play:
1. **Card Values**:
- Cards 2 through 9 are worth their face value.
- 10, Jack, Queen, and King are worth 0.
- Aces are worth 1.
2. **Objective**:
- The goal is to get a hand as close to 9 as possible.
3. **Dealing**:
- Two cards are dealt to both the Player and the Banker.
4. **Natural Win**:
- If the Player or Banker has a total of 8 or 9, it’s called a "Natural," and the game ends.
5. **Drawing Rules**:
- If neither hand has a natural, additional cards may be drawn according to specific rules.
6. **Scoring**:
- Add the value of the cards. If the total is more than 10, drop the first digit. For example, a hand with 7 and 8 (total 15) is worth 5.
7. **Betting**:
- Players bet on whether the Player's hand or the Banker's hand will win, or if it will be a tie.
