Baccarat is a classic casino game and it’s played with six or eight decks of cards. All numbered cards got the same value as the number. Aces got a value of one and face cards are worth 0. If you get a value higher than 9, then you remove 10. The goal of the game is to get a value as close as possible to 9.

In this game you are betting on who you think will win, either the bank or the player. You can also bet on a draw but the odds are so bad that it’s not a bet that is recommended. The hand closest to 9 wins.

The rules decide wheather you have to draw a third card. If the player got 8 or 9 a third card is not needed. If he got 5 or less, he will draw a card.

If you bet on the bank and the bank wins, you get paid 19 to20 because the bank takes 5% as a commission. If you bet on the player and win you get paid 1 to 1. A tie pays 8 to 1. If you play in live casinos, the dealer keeps track of the commission and it’s paid when you leave the table.
