Sure, I can help with that! In Baccarat, there are a few different versions, but let's focus on the basic rules of 3 Card Baccarat:
1. **Objective**: The goal is to have a hand value closest to 9. Face cards and tens are worth zero, aces are worth one, and all other cards are worth their face value.
2. **Dealing**: Each player and the dealer receive three cards.
3. **Hand Values**: The value of a hand is determined by adding the values of the three cards together and then taking the last digit of the total. For example, if the cards are 7, 5, and 9, the total is 21, and the hand value is 1.
4. **Winning**: The player with the hand closest to 9 wins. If the player and the dealer have the same hand value, the hand with the higher-ranking cards wins. The ranking of individual cards from highest to lowest is: 3 face cards (K, Q, J), 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, A.
5. **Natural Win**: If a player or dealer has a total of 8 or 9 with their first two cards, it’s a natural win, and no more cards are drawn.
6. **Tie**: If both the player and the dealer have the same hand value and the same highest-ranking card, it’s a tie.
These are the basic rules, but various casinos might have slight variations or additional side bets. Enjoy your game!
