GAME RULES:

  • Game is played using one deck of (52) cards without jokers.
  • Card values are as follows:
    1. The ace card is counted as 1 point each.
    2. Tens and face cards (jacks, queens, and kings) are counted as 0 points each.
    3. Cards from 2 to 9 are counted as per their numerical face values.
  • Cards point value is displayed in ratio format for both player and banker cards as x:y (separately displayed for player and banker near to their respective cards area). In this x is the total point value for the first two cards and y is the total point value of cards including the 3rd card, if the 3rd is card is not dealt by the player or banker then the x and y values will be the same.
  • Gameplay starts by placing a bet on any of the Player's hand or Banker's hand or Tie.
  • After placing bets, click the DEAL button to start the game.
  • The Banker and Player hands are dealt with 2 cards or 3 cards each. The third card is dealt with based on the third card rules.
  • If Player and Banker hands have same value, then the game is a Tie and bets on Player, Banker hands are returned and considered as a push.
  • Player and Banker hand values are calculated by subtracting 10 from the hand value and that value is considered as hand value. For example, if a Player or Banker has 7 and 8 cards in hand then the hand value is only 5 (15-10=5) in the Baccarat game.
  • If Player or Banker has a hand value of 8 or 9 after the initial 2 cards are drawn, then it is referred to as a Natural and further card will not draw. If there is one hand Natural, then both hands will stand.
  • A third card may or may not be dealt with either player or banker depending on the following rules:
     
    1. If either player or the banker has a total of 8 or 9, they both stand. This rule overrides all other rules.
    2. If player's point value of first two cards is 5 or less, then player draws; otherwise, player stands (also shown in Player Hand Third Card Rules table below).
    3. If the banker points as less than 5 - The banker will receive a card if the player does not receive the third card.
    4. If banker points as 6 - Does not receive a card if a player does not receive the third card.
    5. If player draws a third card, the value of the card drawn by player and the value of the banker's hand determines if the banker gets a third card. (Refer to Bankers Hand Third Card Rules table to determine whether banker draws a third card or not.)
