Baccarat is a straightforward game to learn and play. The Player and the dealer (Banker in Baccarat) are handed two-card hands to score as close to 9 as possible. Aces and tens count as zero, tens and picture cards as one, and other cards score according to their denomination.
You may draw a third card depending on the two total cards. You can place bets on the Player, Banker, or Tie. Player wins are paid out at a 1:1, even-money ratio, while banker wins are paid out at the same odds minus a 5% commission. Tie bets are paid at 8:1 odds. A player can pick between two additional side bets: Player Pair and Banker Pair. Each side bet pays 11:1 if chosen.
