Baccarat Casino

Baccarat, also known as punto banco, is one of the oldest and most popular games in casinos all over the world. It is especially popular among high-rollers and Asian gamblers. In Macau, baccarat is extremely dominant. Although the game seems serious and elegant, it is really as simple as betting on the flip of a coin.

The rules

-Baccarat is played from a six-deck or an eight-deck shoe. All face cards and 10s have no value. Cards less than 10 are counted at face value, Aces are worth 1. Suits don’t matter. Only single digit values are valid. Any count that reaches a double digit drops the left digit. 15 is counted as 5 and 25 is also counted as 5.

-To start, the players bet either on Banco or Punto. The card dealer gives two cards each; first to the player and then the banker. The object of the game is to bet on the hand that you think will have the highest total value.

-A third card may be dealt to either or both the player (Punto) and the bank (Banco) based on the following three-card-rules. It is not necessary to learn these rules to play, they are compulsory decisions and therefore automatic. Only on rare occasions a mistake is made:

-Player’s third-card-rule

-If either the player or the bank have a total of 8 or 9 on the first two cards no further cards are drawn. The resulting hand is called a natural and the hand is over.
-If the player’s total is less than or equal to 5 the player’s hand draws a third card.
-If the player does not draw a third card, then the bank’s hand stands on 6 or more and takes a third card on a total of 5 or less. If the player does take a third card then the Bank’s third-card-rule below will determine if the bank takes a third card.

Bank’s third-card-rule

-If the bank’s total is 2 or less then bank draws a card, regardless of what the players third card is.
-If the banks total is 3 then the bank draws a third card unless the players third card was an 8.
-If the banks total is 4 then the bank draws a third card unless the players third card was a 0, 1, 8, or 9.
-If the banks total is 5 then the bank draws a third card if the players third card was 4, 5, 6, or 7.
-If the banks total is 6 then the bank draws a third card if the players third card was a 6 or 7.
-If the banks total is 7 then the bank stands.

-Once dealing is completed, the hand with the highest count wins. The paying casino dealers will collect the losing bets first and then pay the winning ones. The player who actually deals the cards is not responsible for the payouts. He is just like any other player, playing against the casino.
