How do you play Baccarat?

Answer:
Objective of Baccarat:

  • The objective of Baccarat is to draw a 2 or 3-card hand that totals closer to 9 than the banker.
  • 10, J, K, Q count as 0, A is a 1 and all other cards are face value.
  • If your total is more than ten, you drop the ten. So a 7-9 hand totals to 6 (16, drop ten).
  • There is no such thing as a "bust" hand.

Rules of Baccarat:

Rules for the player hand: If the player's first two cards total 6 or more, then the player must stand without drawing a card. If the player's first two cards total 5 or less, the player must draw one additional card.


Rules for the banker hand: If the banker's first two cards total 7 or more, then the banker must stand without drawing a card. If the banker's first two cards total 0, 1, or 2, then the banker must draw one card. If the banker's first two cards total 3, 4, 5, or 6, then whether the banker draws is determined by the whether the player drew, and if so the value of the player's draw card, as shown by the table below.
