Baccarat is a popular card game often played in casinos, and it can be quite thrilling. The game is typically 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" (Banker has the higher score), and "Tie" (both hands are of equal value).
Here's a quick rundown of how to play:
1. **Card Values**:
- Cards 2-9 are worth their face value.
- 10s, Jacks, Queens, and Kings are worth 0.
- Aces are worth 1.
2. **Objective**:
- The goal is to bet on the hand you think will have the highest total value, with the best possible score being 9.
3. **Dealing**:
- The Player and Banker each receive two cards to start.
- Depending on the total of these two cards, a third card may be dealt to either or both hands according to specific rules.
4. **Scoring**:
- The total value of a hand is the rightmost digit of the sum of the card values. For example, a hand consisting of 7 and 8 would have a total of 5 (since 7 + 8 = 15, and the rightmost digit is 5).
5. **Third Card Rule**:
- This can get a bit complex, but basically, if either the Player or Banker has a total of 8 or 9, they both stand. Otherwise, the Player may draw a third card if their total is 5 or less. The Banker draws a third card based on more specific rules.
