How to play Baccarat?

Super easy, as the goal in the game is to get as close to the total sum of nine (9) as possible. As this is a bit of a different game, where the dealer or Croupier does everything, You just have to choose who wins or will it be a tie? On a Land-based Casino you will have a score card to help you keep on track of how the game is going. But you really do not need it..

What are the Card values?

The cards 2 through 9 have their own value always.
10, Jack, Queen and the King have the value of 0
The Ace card has a value of 1.

There is something to remember always and that is that when the 2 cards you have been dealt add up to more then 9, the first number will be dropped and you will be left with the value. So if you have a 9 & 7 that is 16, as the first number is dropped, you have then 6. This is a good card to have, as you are really close to 9.

This makes the game a lot easier for new players and also for the older ones if you know what we mean. Also makes the game very straight forward, with no real rule differentiation.

If no one hits a natural win, chances are you might need to see one more card on the table. That’s because the Player (who’s the first one to play) stands on a total of 6 or 7 but needs one more card on a 0–5 score.

Not to make things complicate, If the Player does not need to draw the third card, the Banker stays on a total of 6 or 7 and draws a card on a total of 0–5.

Otherwise:

• If the Player draws a 9, 10, face-card, or Ace as a third card, the Banker draws on a 0-3 score and stays on a 4-7 score
• If the Player draws an 8 as a third card, the Banker draws on a 0-2 score and stays on a 3-7 score
• If the Player draws a 6 or 7 as a third card, the Banker draws on a 0-6 score and stays on a total of 7
• If the Player draws a 4 or 5 as a third card, the Banker draws on a 0-5 score and stays on a total of 6 or 7
• If the Player draws a 2 or 3 as a third card, the Banker draws on a 0-4 score and stays on a total of 5, 6, or 7.

The history of Baccarat

Baccarat or Baccara is a card game played at Land-based Casinos and these days on Online Casinos. It is all about comparing card game played between two hands, the “player” and the “banker“. Each baccarat coup (round of play) has three possible outcomes: “player” (player has the higher score), “banker“, and “tie“. There are three popular variants of the game: punto banco “North American baccarat”, baccarat chemin de fer or “chemmy”, and baccarat banque or à deux tableaux. In punto banco, each player’s moves are forced by the cards the player is dealt. In baccarat chemin de fer and baccarat banque, by contrast, both players can make choices.

The winning odds are in favor of the bank, with a house edge no lower than around 1 percent.

The origins of the game are disputed, and some sources claim that it dates to the 19th century. Other sources claim that the game was introduced into France from Italy at the end of the 15th century by soldiers returning from the Franco-Italian War during the reign of Charles VIII.
