Although originally an Italian game, Baccarat became famous in France in the 15th century. This is considered one of the most glamorous games in a casino. The player's objective in Baccarat is to correctly guess which of three possible propositions will win the round: Bank, Player, or Tie.
Whichever hand is closest to nine is the winner. Two cards are dealt to the Bank hand and two cards are dealt to the Player hand. Sometimes a third card must be dealt to either or both hands; this depends on the outcome of the first two cards. The player needs not to worry about the third card as the dealer is the one responsible for keeping track of the game.
The player may start the game by placing a bet on the field that he or she feels will win the turn
Player - Pays even money.
Banker - Pays even money minus a 5% commission which is collected on winning bets.
Tie - Pays 8 to 1 if the Player and Banker point totals tie.
It is important to understand that "Banker" does not represent the house but merely a field to place a bet on the Baccarat table. The casino house makes its money by taking 5% commission from the winnings of the banker field, should it be the winner. The game rules slightly favor the Banker's hand.
The game is usually dealt from an eight-deck shoe. It is reshuffled when the shoe reaches about 50%
Cards ACE to NINE are worth their face value of 1 to 9.
Cards TEN to KING are worth 0 (zero).
Cards are dealt in the following order: card to player, card to banker, card to player, card to banker. (4 cards)
The TOTAL value of the cards cannot exceed 9. So, if the total value exceeds 9 then the last digit is used. Example 8 + 9 = 17 Player has 7
PLAYER and BANKER receive a 3rd card or STAND on their first two cards as per the rules below unless one of them has a NATURAL.
Player has 9 Banker has 9 First 2 Cards Total 8 OR 9 Banker AND Player STAND - No more cards
Player Hand totaling 0-5: Player always gets 3rd card. Player Hand totaling 6-7 stands. Stands
Banker's Hand totaling 3: Banker gets a 3rd card UNLESS Player's 3rd card is 8 OR Banker gets a 3rd card if Player's 2 cards total is 6 or 7
Banker's Hand totaling 4: Banker gets a 3rd card if Player's 3rd card is 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 OR Banker gets a 3rd card if Player's 2 cards total is 6 or 7
Banker's Hand totaling 5: Banker gets a 3rd card if Player's 3rd card is 4, 5, 6, or 7 OR Banker gets a 3rd card if Player's 2 cards total is 6 or 7
Banker's Hand totaling 6: Banker gets a 3rd card if Player's 3rd card is 6, or 7
Banker's Hand totaling 7: Stands
Player has 9 Banker has 8 A winning Player hand is paid off at one to one. Thus, if you bet ten dollars, you win ten dollars.
Banker has 9 Player has 7 A winning Bank hand is paid off at .95 to one. This means that if you bet ten dollars, you win $9.50.
Player has 9 Banker has 9 The Tie hand is paid at eight to one. Thus a winning tie bet of $10 will return $80. If you bet on either Bank or Player and the Tie wins, you do not lose your bet. It is a push.
Edge in favor of the casino is as follows depending on where the bet is placed: Tie 14.1% Banker 1.17% (5% commission on wins) Player 1.36.% The Tie bet has a 14.1 percent edge in favor of the casino. The house gets a 1.36 percent edge on the Player bet and a 1.17 percent edge on the Bank bet when the bank charges a five percent commission.
A predominant aspect of the baccarat games played at the local casino is the scorecard. Casinos encourage this behavior simply because they know it has no bearing on the outcome of the game. One hand has no bearing on the next, and is never influenced by the preceding hands. If you were betting on the flip of a coin, and it landed heads up 9 times in a row. The chance of the coin landing tails up on the 10th flip is exactly 50%, just as it was the first nine times. Any Baccarat strategy that makes you change your bets based on previous hands is useless and should be completely disregarded.
The objective of the game is obtaining a hand value that is closest to 21 and higher than the dealer's hand without going over. Your hand or hands, depending at which table you play in the casino, will play against the total of the dealer's hand.
Initially, both the dealer and the player are dealt two cards per hand. Player cards are dealt face up and one dealer card is dealt face up. A Blackjack is when the sum of the first two totals 21. The combination can be any Ace with any card with a value of 10.
The shoe of cards can consist of any number of decks from 1 to 8, this depends of the rules of the house. The number of decks used at a table affect the odds of house. The more decks the better the odds are for the house. The casino lobby indicates the number of decks used in each game.
In Blackjack, the cards are valued as follows: An Ace can count as either 1 or 11. Cards from 2 through 9 keep their face value. The 10, Jack, Queen, and King are all valued at 10.
The plays that the Dealer makes are defined by a set of table rules that determine his actions. Usually these rules are indicated on the blackjack table. The main guidelines for the Dealer hand are: Hit on 16 or less Hit on Soft 17 Stand on Hard 17 or higher A soft hand is where an Ace is counted as either 1 or 11 without going over 21. A hard hand has no Aces or just one Ace must count as one so that the hand does not go over 21.
After the cards are dealt the player must play his/her hand first. The player can make several choices once his two initial cards are dealt. The player's action would depend on the strategy used by the player to the two initial cards. Some tables will have rules that other tables may not have so it is a good idea for the player to find out which tables in the casino are the ones that suit his or her gambling style. These options are indicated in the casino lobby when choosing a game. The Players hand is over when: A Blackjack comes up, Player chooses to stand or Player busts. These are the choices a player has after being deal the first two cards:
The player chooses this option if he/she wishes to stand with the cards they have.
The dealer gives the player another card.
Player can choose to take only one hit and double the amount of his/her bet. This option may vary in how it is offered. Some tables allow a Double on any two cards and some allow it only when the combination of the initial two cards equals 9, 10 or 11. Some tables may even offer a late double that can be played after the player already has 3 cards. These options if available are indicated in the casino lobby. The double option, if played correctly can be very beneficial for the player.
If the player has two cards of equal value, he/she can choose to split the cards into two hands by doubling the amount of the bet. In a Split blackjack is not recognized. Some tables allow players to split multiple times. As with a Double, if played correctly Splits can increase player odds significantly. Some games will not allow re-splitting Aces and a lot of games will not allow hitting after splitting Aces. Games that allow you to re-split aces and hit after splitting aces are of big advantage for the player.
When the dealer's face up card is an Ace players have the option to purchase Insurance. Insurance generally pays 2:1 and is indicated on the table. Insurance can be understood as a side bet on whether the dealer has blackjack or not. If the dealer has blackjack the insurance bet is a winner.
Even Money is sometimes used when a player is dealt a Blackjack and the dealer has a face up Ace. The player can take an Even Money payout of 1:1 instead of the usual 1.5:1 and avoid the risk of the dealer having a blackjack which would result in a push.
If the player is unsatisfied with the first 2 cards and feels the dealer has a much better chance then the player can surrender and only lose half the bet amount. Surrender is generally a house favorable option.
This is when the Player's or Dealer's hand total goes over 21. A Busted hand is automatically a loser.
Push is when the Player's hand equals the total of the Dealer's hand. This is tie and the player receives his/her bet amount back.
Min bet: displays the minimum bet amount required to play a hand. Max bet: displays the maximum bet amount allowed at the table. This is shown in the top right hand corner of the table.
Some Blackjack tables will allow a player to play multiple hands at the same time. A player can play either one, two or three hands simultaneously. The casino lobby indicates which tables will allow a player play multiple hands.
In the event the player looses internet connectivity on or closes his/her browser window in the middle of a game, the game in progress will be stored. Once back in the casino the pending game may be restored and finished by the player.
Besides the regular Blackjack games that you are used to we also offer these exciting variations of this popular game:
Double exposure is a version of blackjack where both of the dealer's cards are exposed. There are off course some rule changes to favor the dealer in order to compensate.

Blackjack switch allows the player to trade cards between two hands. By default six decks of cards are used. The player needs to make two bets of equal amounts and is then allowed to switch the second card dealt to each hand. In order to compensate for this, a dealer 22 results in a push and blackjacks pay even money. All rules are based on conventional blackjack with these exceptions:
Dealer hits a soft 17.
The player must make two bets of equal size.
Cards will be dealt face up.
Dealer will peek for blackjack with an ace or ten up. If the dealer has a blackjack all player hands will immediately lose, except a player blackjack will push.

Player may double on 10 and 11 only.
Player may split once.
Winning player blackjacks pay even money.

A 6-7-8 or 7-7-7 of mixed suits pays 3:2, of the same suit pays 2:1, and of spades pays 3:1.
