Sure, I can help guide you on how to play baccarat. Here are the basic steps:
1. **Understand the Objective**: The goal in baccarat is to get a hand value closest to 9. The game is usually between two hands: the Player and the Banker.
2. **Card Values**:
- Cards 2-9 are worth their face value.
- 10s, Jacks, Queens, and Kings are worth 0.
- Aces are worth 1.
3. **Dealing the Cards**:
- 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 is called a "natural," and no more cards are dealt.
4. **Third Card Rules**:
- If the Player's total is 5 or less, the Player draws a third card.
- If the Player stands (i.e., does not draw a third card), the Banker draws a third card if they have 5 or less.
- The Banker’s draw rules can be more complex and depend on the Player's third card.
5. **Winning**:
- The hand closest to 9 wins.
- If both hands have the same total, it’s a tie.
6. **Betting**:
- You can bet on the Player, the Banker, or a tie.
- Winning bets on the Player are paid 1:1.
- Winning bets on the Banker are usually paid 1:1, but a 5% commission is often taken.
- Winning bets on a tie are typically paid 8:1.
