Baccarat is the classy casino game that will have you on the edge of your seat.
The aim of Baccarat is to bet on the outcome of a game between the player and the banker - the hand that totals closest to 9 will win.
You will have the option to bet on the player, on the banker, on a tie, or on any combination of those three options.
Values of the Cards
In Baccarat the cards are valued as follows:
- 10, Jack, Queen and King are all valued at 0.
-2-9 are valued at the number shown on the card.
- Aces are valued at 1.
If the sum of the two cards is higher than 10, the second digit is the only one considered - for example, 18 is valued as 8.
Scores of 10 or 20 are therefore both considered as 0.
How to Bet
Select Chip Size - the chip sizes available in Baccarat are £1, £5, £25, £100, and £500, and you can pick one of those simply by clicking on it.
Placing Bets - place a bet by clicking on a chip and then clicking within a bet box.
Removing Bets - click 'undo' and your most recently placed bet will be removed.
Clear Bets - if you hit 'clear bets', all bets on the table will be deleted.
Deal - clicking 'Deal' starts the game.
Rebet - you can repeat your bet from the last game by selecting 'rebet.'
How the Cards are Dealt
When the game begins, you and the banker both receive two cards.
Should either of the hands equate to eight or nine it is considered a 'natural' hand, meaning both hands will automatically stand.
If the sum of yours hand is five or less, you are given an additional card.
The bank stands on any score of at least six if you don't draw a third card.
