Baccarat is a popular card game that is often played in casinos. The game is typically played between two hands, the "player" and the "banker." Here’s a quick rundown of how the game works:
1. **Objective**: The goal is to bet on the hand that you think will have a total closest to 9.
2. **Card Values**:
- Cards 2-9 are worth their face value.
- 10, Jack, Queen, and King 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 banker has a total of 8 or 9, it’s called a "natural," and no more cards are drawn.
- If the total is 5 or less, the player draws a third card.
- The banker’s actions depend on the player’s third card and the banker’s total.
4. **Betting Options**:
- **Player Bet**: You win if the player’s hand is closer to 9.
- **Banker Bet**: You win if the banker’s hand is closer to 9.
- **Tie Bet**: You win if both hands have the same total.
5. **Payouts**:
- Player bet pays 1:1.
- Banker bet pays 1:1 minus a 5% commission.
- Tie bet usually pays 8:1 or 9:1.
