Baccarat is one of the more unique casino games for two reasons. Firstly, it is always seen with an air of mystique by normal players that don't know the game because it is often kept in separate rooms away from the main gaming floor. Secondly, Baccarat is one of the only casino games where any player can bet on the dealers hand to win instead of their own hand.
A lot of people love baccarat because it's a simple game that's easy to learn, and has some good features and fun that keep people coming back time and time again.
Rules
The rules of Baccarat are simple. The player and the dealer both start with hands of two cards and must get as close to a total of 9 as possible. Hands in Baccarat can only total up to 9 as the cards are valued as:
Number card - valued at their face value
Aces - valued at 1
Picture cards - valued at 10.
When a hand is dealt the cards are added together, and if the total is more then to, the ten is removed from the total. As an example, of you are dealt a five and an eight, the total is 13, and after removing the 10, your hand is left with a total of three.
The best hand in Baccarat is a Natural, which means that the two cards that you are dealt add up to 9. This hand wins automatically unless the other player also has a Natural.
If there is no winner with the first round, the player and the dealer are each given an extra card to determine the winner. From these totals, it is determined of the dealer of the players hands win. If there is a tie, all bets are left on the table and players can choose to continue the best for the next game, or to remove their bets.
