BACCARAT BASICS

Baccarat is a game of chance and skill between you and the Banker. It is played with a single standard deck of 52 cards. There are three types of bets and the game odds are high.

The objective of the game is to predict whose hand, the Banker's or the Player's, will be closer to the value of nine. You can also bet on the possibility of a tie.

BACCARAT GAME RULES

The following rules apply when playing Baccarat:

  • If you bet on the Banker's hand, and the hand wins, you pay a 5% commission to the House.
  • King’s, Queen’s, Jack’s and Ten’s have no point value.
  • If the hands tie, and you did not bet on a Tie, your bet is returned to you.

BACCARAT HANDS

The winning hand is the one with a value closest to nine.

The value of a hand is calculated by adding up the total of the cards. The card values are:

Card Face Value
(Any Suit)		 Card Point Value
King 0
Queen 0
Jack 0
10 0
9 9
8 8
7 7
6 6
5 5
4 4
3 3
2 2
Ace 1

If the total of a hand exceeds nine, the value of the hand is the "unit" portion of the total. For more information, see the examples below.

If the hand you bet on wins, you are paid out according to the Payout Schedule.

Examples:

  • A hand consists of an Eight of Clubs and a Seven of Diamonds. The point values are 8 and 7, so the total of the hand is 8 + 7 = 15. As the "tens" portion of the total is ignored, the value of the hand is five.
  • A hand consists of a Nine of Spades, a Two of Hearts and a Nine of Diamonds. The point values are 9, 2 and 9, so the total of the hand is 9 + 2 + 9 = 20. As the "tens" portion of the total is ignored, the value of the hand is zero.

BACCARAT PAYOUT SCHEDULE

Winning hands in Baccarat depend on the hand you bet on, and whether that hand wins.

If the hand you bet on wins, the payout is as follows:

Hand Combination Payout
Banker's Hand Wins 2x the bet - 5% commission on winnings for the House
Player's Hand Wins 2x the bet
Tie 8x the bet

If the hand that you bet on wins, you are paid double your bet, unless you bet on a tie. If you bet on a tie, the payout is eight times the amount you bet. If you bet on the Banker's hand, and win, the House charges a 5% commission.

If you bet on a hand, and the hand loses, you lose your bet. If you do not bet on a tie, and the hands tie, your bet is returned to you.

Important: Malfunctions void all plays and pays.
