Sure! Here are the rules for the 3-card version of Baccarat:
1. **Card Values**:
- Number cards (2-9) are worth their face value.
- 10s, Jacks, Queens, and Kings are worth 0 points.
- Aces are worth 1 point.
2. **Objective**:
- The aim is to get a hand value closest to 9.
3. **Dealing Cards**:
- Both the player and the banker are dealt two cards initially.
- Depending on the total value of these cards, a third card may be drawn.
4. **Natural Win**:
- If either the player or the banker has a total of 8 or 9 with the first two cards, it’s called a "natural" and no more cards are drawn.
5. **Player’s Third Card Rule**:
- If the player’s total is 0-5, the player draws a third card.
- If the player’s total is 6 or 7, the player stands.
6. **Banker’s Third Card Rule**:
- If the player stands (with a total of 6 or 7), the banker follows the same rule as the player.
- If the player draws a third card, the banker’s action depends on the banker’s total and the player’s third card:
- Banker total 0-2: Banker draws a third card.
- Banker total 3: Banker draws if the player's third card is 0-9 (except 8).
- Banker total 4: Banker draws if the player's third card is 2-7.
- Banker total 5: Banker draws if the player's third card is 4-7.
- Banker total 6: Banker draws if the player's third card is 6 or 7.
- Banker total 7: Banker stands.
7. **Winning**:
- The hand closest to 9 wins.
- If both hands have the same total, it’s a tie.
8. **Betting**:
- Players can bet on the player’s hand, the banker’s hand, or a tie.
