Baccarat is actually a very easy to learn game.
In this section, we will explain to you everything you need to
know about Baccarat before playing, including the basic layout of a
baccarat table,
betting rules,
hand values and
drawing rules.
Remember that Baccarat is a game of chance, with no skill involved at all.
That means that once you know the basic rules of the game, you are ready to
play Baccarat.
But, before starting to explain the rules, we
recommend that you download the casino software from one of our recommended
casinos, and register as a guest, so you can gamble for free. We recommend
this because when you have the casino software open and play Baccarat, the
rules will be much easier to understand and follow.
The basic concept of Baccarat is that there are
two hands playing against each other, the Bank and the Player. Both get at
least 2 cards, but no more than 3, and the goal is to get as close to 9 as
possible. This means that it's somewhat like Blackjack, with the exception
that you cannot bust for going over 9. Should your hand be over 9, you will
simply use the last digit of your hand as the hand value. For more information,
visit our
Hand Values section.
Should one of the two participants get a hand of
8 or 9, it's called a "Natural" and no more cards are dealt. The person with
the higher hand wins that hand. Should both player have the same value, it's a
Tie and unless you bet on the Tie, you will get your original bet back, so you
didn't lose any money on that hand.
Should neither one of the participants have
gotten a 8 or 9, a third card might be drawn. For a detailed explanation on
who and when the third card is drawn, visit our
Drawing Rules section.
