The object of the game is to predict
who’s hand’s value will be closer to 9 - the player’s or the bank’s.
To begin the game, place your bet on either the banker’ hand, the
player’s hand or a tie ( a tie is when both hands have the same
values). If the game results in a tie (when you didn’t bet on a
tie), all bets are returned. All wins for the banker and player pay
out even money, but, if you are betting on the bank, and win, a 5%
commission is taken from your winnings. A winning bet on a tie pays
8 to 1. In Baccarat, the card values are as follows: Ace = 1 pt,
Face Cards and 10s = 0, All other cards - Face Value. If your cards
add up to more than ten, just subtract ten and the resulting number
is the value of your hand.
