There are many types of casino games available to play both online and offline. Among them all, one is Baccarat. Today in this article, we will get to know some rules for playing this game.
Values of Cards
Just like blackjack where each card gets some values according to the number of them or their face value, the cards also get some values in this baccarat game. They are slightly different than that of the values of blackjack. In this game, each card from number 2 to 9 has been given a value as the card number itself. It is like 3 for 3, 7 for 7, and 9 for 9. Except for these, all the cards from 10 to King have been considered as 0. The Value of ace in blackjack can take either of the value from 1 or 11 but in baccarat, it is considered as 1 in this game.
Hands
There are no special hands in this game like the game of poker where you can get any of the hands and can win according to the rank of the hands. In this game, there is just one rule. The players have distributed either 2 or 3 cards at a time. The player whose card’s value is highest among all wins the game. Here there is one special rule also. In this game, the highest score can be 9 and the lowest can be 0. If any player’s total scores more than 9 which is in two digits, only the last digit is considered. The first digit is omitted by the rule. For example, if the total score of any player is 20, it’s considered only as 0 as 2 is omitted. Similarly, if any player scores 17, his actual score is considered only 7.
Type of bets
In this game, there are mainly three ways to bet. You can either bet on the player, banker, or on tie. Though there are three ways, most of the time players bet only on bankers or players. This is so because it is very rare when the scores between them match exactly the same. The tie can happen in two ways. In the first way, the score of both the players is exactly the same as 5 and 5, 7 and 7, 9 and 9, etc and in a second way, it is calculated after converting the 2 digit score.
Payouts
The payout in this game of baccarat is also very different from all the games. In this game, the players can bet either on the players, bankers or on a tie as we got to know above also. If the player bets either on banker or player, he gets 100% of the amount he bets with. For example, if he bets at $120, he wins $120+$120 after winning. However, if he bets on a tie, he gets 9 times his betting amount. For an example of the bets abest20 on a tie and winning the bet, he receives a total of $1080 as winning a prize.
