The Object of Baccarat
Draw 2 to 3 cards to earn a value as close to nine as possible. The objective of
the game is to correctly guess which three events will occur in the next round -
either you win, the Banker wins or a Tie occurs. In other words the objective is
to predict whose hand, the Banker's or yours will be closer to the value of nine.
You can also bet on the possibility of a tie. If your hand totals 9 or 8 you win
automatically. If you require additional cards, your hand always draws first.
The Winning Hand
- A hand that totals 9 in the first two cards.
- 8 is the second highest hand.
- These two hands are considered "natural" hands.
- A natural nine beats a natural eight. If any you or the Bank has a natural eight
or nine, the other players may not draw a third card.
Baccarat Hand Values
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:

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.
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.
Additional Cards
If neither hand is a natural 8 or 9, each hand is required to receive an additional
card. The Banker's next action (drawing or standing) depends on the player hand
total giving you slight advantage.
