How To Play Baccarat Online Baccarat is the Oldest of all games played in modern casinos. Records suggest the game may have been played as far back as the Fifteenth Century in France, where it is also known as Punto Banco. There are just Three Bets to make, and the game is often played for quite High Odds. In traditional casinos Baccarat Tables are often kept separate from the rest of the casino in a ‘Baccarat Pit.’ The Baccarat Table is easy to recognize, it is quite large and can have seating for as many as twelve people. Baccarat online is a Card Game played with a Single Deck of Cards. The objective of the game is to predict which of the two hands (Banker or Player) that are about to be dealt, will be closer to having a value of 9. Baccarat Features The Increase and Decrease are used to adjust the size of your Bet. The Bet size can only be changed between games. Use the Player button to place your Bet on the Players hand. Playing The Game Baccarat is played with a Single Standard Deck of Cards. Two hands of cards are dealt, one for the Player and one for the Banker. Each hand will contain either two or three cards. These cards are dealt according to a set of rules that are the same wherever Baccarat is played. The amount to be wagered on each game of Baccarat is displayed in the ‘Amount Bet’ or ‘Bet’ box. This amount may be adjusted by clicking on the 'Increase' or 'Decrease' buttons. These buttons will increment or decrement the amount wagered. Once the size of the wager has been determined, you must decide which of three possible bets you wish to make before the cards are dealt. You can decide to bet on the Bankers hand winning, the Players hand winning, or the possibility of a Tie. Click on the appropriately labeled buttons to place these Bets. Once the Bet has been placed, the two hands will be dealt. The winning hand will be the one whose value is closest to Nine (9). If the value of a Baccarat hand exceeds 9, then the value of the hand is taken as the 'Unit' portion of the total. Thus, if a hand consists of an 8 of Clubs and a 7of Diamonds, the total for the hand would be 15. You would ignore the "tens" portion of that total, giving you a value of 5. Similarly, if the total of the cards were 20, you would ignore the 2 (tens portion) giving you a hand value of 0. Once the winning hand is determined the game is over. If the hand you backed won, you will be paid out according to the rules in the Payout Schedule section. General Rules The Player should take Note of the following Rules of Baccarat: A 5% commission is taken when the Player bets on a winning Bankers hand. Face Cards and 10's have No Value in Baccarat. A Tie that the Player did not bet on pays the Player back his Ante. |
