BACCARAT
Choose which hand you choose to play, the Player’s
hand (pays 1:1), the Banker’s hand (pays 1:1 less a 5% house commission),
or a tie (pays 8:1). The Player and the Banker then receive 2 cards each.
The object of the game is to attain a total as close to 9 as possible.
Aces are worth 1, face cards and tens are worth 0 the remaining cards are
worth their face value. If the total of the hand exceeds nine, the value
of the right digit is taken. For example, a 9 and a 6 (15) would equate to
5.
The rest of each round is dictated by the following
rules:
- If either the Player's or the Banker's hand totals
8 or 9, neither player receives a third card and the hand closest to
nine wins.
- The Player's hand will always hit on a total of 5
or less and will stand on 6 or higher.
- If the Player stands, the Banker will also hit on
a total of 5 or less and will stand on a total of 6 or more.
- If the Player takes a third card, the Banker
proceeds based on the following table. The Banker’s response is based on
the Player's third card.
