Baccarat
`s objective is to assemble a hand of two or three cards
with a points value as close to nine as
possible.
The perfect hand is one that totals nine with
the first two cards.
Eight is the second-best hand and,
along with the nine,
it constitutes the two "natural" hands.
The only hand that will beat a natural eight is a natural
nine.
If any player hand or the Bank has a natural eight or
nine, the others
may not draw a third card. In the case of a
tie, bets are called off.
Aces count as one, picture cards as
10 and the others their face value.
If your hand total is in
double figures, then the first figure is ignored.
So a hand
totaling 18 would count as eight.
The player with the most
money usually is declared the Banker.
The Banker deals three
hands of two cards each, face down.
These hands are fortwo
players, one to the right and one
to the left of the banker,
plus his own hand.
Other players at the table may bet on
either hand (cheval) or both
to beat the Banker's hand.
If a player declares "banco", it means they are betting the
total
value of the bank's funds and all other bets are
withdrawn.
If either player has a count less than eight or
nine, he may
stand (saying "non") or get one more card face up
(saying "carte").
The player must stand on six or seven
and must draw on four or less.
Casinos usually take their
percentage of the bank and
bets as their fee for the game.
