Baccarat is a popular card game often played in casinos. It's a comparing game played between two hands, the "player" and the "banker." Each baccarat coup (round of play) has three possible outcomes: "player" (player has the higher score), "banker," and "tie."
Here’s a brief overview of 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 point.
2. **Objective**:
- The goal is to bet on which hand you think will have a total closest to 9.
3. **Dealing**:
- Two cards are dealt to both the player and the banker.
- If either the player or banker has a total of 8 or 9, it’s called a natural, and no more cards are dealt.
- If the player’s total is 5 or less, they receive an additional card.
- The banker’s drawing rules are more complex and depend on the player’s third card.
4. **Winning**:
- The hand closest to 9 wins.
- If you bet on the player’s hand and it wins, you get a 1:1 payout.
- If you bet on the banker’s hand and it wins, you get a 1:1 payout minus a 5% commission.
- If you bet on a tie and it wins, you usually get an 8:1 payout.
