Baccarat, often abbreviated as BCR, is a popular card game typically played in casinos. The game has three main variations: Punto Banco (or North American Baccarat), Baccarat Chemin de Fer, and Baccarat Banque. Here's a quick rundown of how it works:
1. **Objective**: The goal is to bet on the hand that you think will have a total closest to 9. You can bet on the Player's hand, the Banker's hand, or a Tie.
2. **Card Values**:
- Number cards (2-9) are worth their face value.
- 10s and face cards (J, Q, K) 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 neither hand has a natural, the drawing rules determine whether the Player or Banker receives a third card.
4. **Winning**:
- If you bet on the Player and their hand wins, you get a 1:1 payout.
- If you bet on the Banker and their hand wins, you also get a 1:1 payout, but a 5% commission is usually taken.
- If you bet on a Tie and it wins, the payout is typically 8:1 or 9:1.
