Baccarat is a classic card game that you can play for real money at many online and physical casinos. The game is straightforward:
1. **Objective**: Bet on whether the Player's hand, the Banker's hand, or a Tie will win. The winning hand is the one that comes closest to a total of 9.
2. **Card Values**:
- Cards 2-9 are worth their face value.
- 10s, Jacks, Queens, and Kings are worth 0.
- Aces are worth 1.
3. **Gameplay**:
- Two cards are dealt to both the Player and the Banker.
- If either the Player or the Banker has a total of 8 or 9, it's called a "natural," and no more cards are drawn.
- If neither has a natural, additional cards may be drawn based on specific rules.
4. **Betting**:
- **Player Bet**: Pays 1:1.
- **Banker Bet**: Pays 1:1 minus a 5% commission.
- **Tie Bet**: Pays 8:1 or 9:1, depending on the casino.
5. **Third Card Rules**:
- If the Player's total is 5 or less, they draw a third card.
- The Banker's third card draw depends on their total and the Player's third card.
Before you start playing for real money, make sure to practice and understand the rules thoroughly. It's also wise to set a budget and stick to it to ensure responsible gambling.
