Baccarat Rules
The rules of Baccarat are simple. The player and the dealer both start
with hands of two cards and must get as close to a total of 9 as
possible. Hands in Baccarat can only total up to 9 as the cards are
valued as:
-
Number card - valued at their face value
-
Aces - valued at 1
-
Picture cards - valued at 10.
When a hand is dealt the cards are added together, and if the total is
more then to, the ten is removed from the total. As an example, of you
are dealt a five and an eight, the total is 13, and after removing the
10, your hand is left with a total of three.
The best hand in Baccarat is a Natural, which means that the two cards
that you are dealt add up to 9. This hand wins automatically unless
the other player also has a Natural.
If there is no winner with the first round, the player and the dealer
are each given an extra card to determine the winner. From these
totals, it is determined of the dealer of the players hands win. If
there is a tie, all bets are left on the table and players can choose
to continue the best for the next game, or to remove their bets.
How to Play
Betting: Your chips are stacked by denomination ($1, $5, $25,
$100, $500) at the bottom of the game window. Select the amount you
would like to wager on a given hand by clicking the left mouse button
on the chip of that denomination to activate it.
Next, place your bet on the Baccarat table by clicking on a bet field.
To specify a bet that is not equal to an existing chip denomination,
simply click on another chip denomination after placing your previous
chip on the table. For example, to bet $30, click on the $25 chip and
place it on the table then click on the $5 chip and place it on top of
the $25 chip.
By clicking on the right mouse button you will withdraw your entire
wager. Your total bet will be displayed in the "Bet" just below
"User". You may repeat your last bet by clicking on the shortcuts
which are summarized below. If you place a wager that is lower than
the minimum table bet limit, your bet amount will be automatically
adjusted to the minimum bet amount.
Dealing: After the player has pressed either the Deal or Pass
button, the Player and Banker are dealt two cards. All tens and
picture cards are worth zero, aces are worth 1, and all other cards
are worth their face value. If the value of cards exceeds 9, then the
value is adjusted by subtracting 10 from the total.
