European Baccarat is a classic casino game that's popular in many parts of the world. The objective is to bet on the hand you believe will have a total closest to 9, either the player's hand, the banker's hand, or a tie.
Here’s a quick rundown of how it works:
1. **Card Values**: Cards 2-9 are worth their face value, 10s and face cards are worth zero, and Aces are worth 1.
2. **Dealing**: Two hands are dealt – one for the player and one for the banker. Each hand gets two cards.
3. **Hand Values**: The value of a hand is the rightmost digit of the sum of the cards. For instance, a hand with a 7 and a 5 (total 12) is worth 2.
4. **Drawing Rules**: If either the player or the banker has a total of 8 or 9, they both stand. If the player's total is 5 or less, the player draws another card. The banker’s drawing rules are more complex and depend on the player’s third card.
5. **Winning**: You win if you bet on the hand that has the higher total, closest to 9.
