Baccarat: Playing the Game

Playing Baccarat is very simple:

Place bets on one or two of the betting zones (remember, you cannot bet on both Player and Banker at the same time) by selecting suitable chips and clicking on the betting zones until you have placed the bets you want to. If you go wrong, either reduce the bet on a particular zone by right-clicking on the chips there, which will reduce the bet by the value of the chip currently shown in the Chip Selector; or by clicking the Clear button to start again.
Once you have placed all the bets you want to make, click the Deal button. The cards will then be dealt automatically and the result shown. Cards 2–9 are worth face value, 10s and face cards (J, Q, K) are worth zero, and Aces are worth 1 point. The total score is calculated by taking the sum of all cards. If the sum is above 10 then the tens digit is ignored. For example, a hand consisting of 2 and 3 is worth 5. A hand consisting of 6 and 7 is worth 3, the first digit is dropped because the total is higher than 9. A hand consisting of 4 and 6 is worth zero.
If you have won, credit will be added to your account, if not, you will lose the chips you wagered.
Note: Remember that anything you win by betting on the Banker is subject to a 5% commission payment.
Repeat the process to play again. If you want to place the same number of chips on the same bets as in your previous game, you can do so quickly by clicking the Rebet button.

After each round, the 6 decks of cards are reset.

Card Values

Two cards to each position are dealt, in the order; to Player, then Banker, then Player, then Banker.

If either the Player or the Banker has a total of an 8 or a 9 they both stand. The round ends, and the hand is evaluated.

If either the Player or the Banker do not have a total of 8 or 9 -

If the Player's total is 5 or less, then the Player hits, otherwise the Player stands.
If the Player stands, then the Banker hits on a total of 5 or less.
If the Player does hit then use the table below to determine if the banker hits (H) or stands (S).

With each payout, the original bet is also returned to the player.

* Wins on Banker must pay a commission, 5% of the payout size.
