Baccarat is a popular card game often found in casinos, and it's also available to play online. Here's a quick overview of how to play:
1. **Objective**: The goal is to bet on the hand you think will have a total value closest to 9. You can bet on the Player's hand, the Banker's hand, or a Tie.
2. **Card Values**:
- Cards 2-9 are worth their face value.
- 10, Jack, Queen, and King are worth 0 points.
- Aces are worth 1 point.
3. **Gameplay**:
- Two cards are dealt to both the Player and the Banker.
- If either hand totals 8 or 9, it is called a "natural," and no more cards are dealt.
- If the total is less than 8, a third card may be drawn according to specific rules.
4. **Third Card Rules**:
- If the Player's total is 5 or less, they draw a third card.
- If the Player stands, the Banker draws if they have 5 or less.
- There are more detailed rules for when the Banker draws a third card depending on the Player's third card.
5. **Winning**:
- The hand closest to 9 wins.
- If you bet on the winning hand, you get a payout. Betting on the Player usually pays 1:1, the Banker pays 1:1 minus a 5% commission, and a Tie often pays 8:1 or 9:1.
