is six-one and three and six make ten.
Ten has no value, and the player has
zero, or nothing. This point OF ten is
called baccarat.
Take the case where the addition Of a
card may make the winning point, an
ace and three is four. nafiye be re-
Ceived, then Is 20, and nine is the
winning point Of baccarat.
A player may receive two tens as the
| first two cards, and get, II he asks for
1t, third card, which is ten, and lie
will have thirty, or three tens, which
counts for nothing. BE may, however,
get nine, or twenty-nine in all-the len,
the tens counting nothing, he has the
best point in the game, which is nine.
The leading hands are any combine
tons in which two cards make nine, or
by ten being deducted from them leaves
nine. Thus a FIVE and four are natu-
raj nine, as are one and eight, or two
and seven, or three and six, or ten or
a picture-card and nine. Two mines,
being eighteen. deducting the ten is O
good point, being eight.
This being understand, we will sup
pose that the game has been opened.
The left-hand players have made their
bets before taking any cards. and
the.hand players having done the same
thing, the banker accepting the bets,
cards are dealt, as before explained, one
at time, the left, the right, the banker,
each getting first card, then second
one
The player A looks ut his cards, and
he represents the interests of all the
left. The cards chow king and a
deuce. The po'nt q two. Amust draw,
for his noint Is seven less than nine.
He gets an eight. He mas twenty IA
count, which is nothing. Q, on the
other side to the right, has an eight and
two, which is ten, or nothing, He
draws cardiff is nine. He has
then nineteen. Deducting the ten, he
has nine. which is the winning point.
The banker draws card or not, as he
pleases. He may have five and two,
which is seven. He stands. It would
be too dangerous for him to expect to
draw an ace or a deuce, to make him
eight or nine. Should he draw a trey,
that card would make him ten, or moth
ing. Ifit were q four, b-2-=ll would
make him one point only. He does not
draw. He stands. The cards are
shown after the points are announced,
and the banker wins all the money
staked on one side where there is TWEEN
ty or nothing, and pays on the other
side where there is nine.
Players should draw q card when they
are four The bankers game is differ.
ent. He judges whether the players
hands have been augmented or dimin-
ished BY the fall OF the cards. He might
stand at four and win, because the other
sides have taken cards and may not
have augmented their hands. Ii the
sides stand, it is supposedthey have at
least five. ~
When either the players or the bank
or has natural eight or nine, it must
be announced at once and shown. Ex-
ample: The left has two and six, or
a four and five. The player announces
eight or nine. as the case may be. The
banker looks at his card, does not an
nounce anything, Theright hand play.
has nine or eight, or 1t would have been
announced. He asks for card, and
may make nine with the third card.
The banker may draw card and make
nine. He plays the natural eight or
nine. and it is stand.of with the
players who. have made the same point.
No combination OF three cards, ii It
even makes nine, is as good as natural
eight or nine. No double payments are
made for naturals.
LAWS.
Only one card can be taken after the
two original cards have been received.
Calling q hand, and making q mis-
take, brings with 1t no-penalty, because,
as in poker, nothing istaken for granted.
The cards must be shown.
Nine cards may be necessary when
the last round is played. II there are
only eight cards tho play ceases. Cards
are all gathered in and new deal
begins.
cards must be at once announced, as
eight" or mine" and placed face up
on the table.
The person representing the side OF
the table where he holds the cards, has
q right TO decide whether he will take q
third card or not.
The banker must have money enough
to meet any bet. Ii he has not he must
retire.
The banker may decline continuing
his bank when lie pleases.
II the dealer turns over card given
TO the player he is bound TO expose one
Of his own cards.
Ii he exposes two cards in dealing he
must show both his own cards, and then
the players have the option OF with
drawing their bets or holding the banker
| to them.
