Baccarat is a card game loved by casinos around the world for its simple rules and thrilling gameplay. All you have to do is predict who will win or draw, the player or the banker, and place your bets. Even beginners can enjoy the game right away.
basic rule
1. player and bunker
- The two camps, player andbanker, are pitted against each other, and you simply bet on one of them.
- The dealer runs the game and the players do not manipulate the cards.
2. victory conditions
- The player whose total score of the cards dealt is closest to 9 wins.
- If the total exceeds 9, the number of points will be obtained by subtracting 10 (e.g., 8 + 5 = 13 → score is 3).
3. types of bets
- Player wins: Player’s cards are higher than the banker’s.
- BANKER WINS: Banker’s cards are higher than player’s.
- Tie: Player and banker have the same score.
Card Score
- 2 to 9: The number as it is is the score.
- 10, J, Q, K: Counted as 0 points.
- Ace (A): Counts as 1 point.
Game Flow
1. place a bet
Players place wagers on player wins, banker wins, or ties.
2. distribution of cards
- The player and the banker are dealt two cards each.
- If necessary, a third card may be drawn (see “Card Rules” below).
3. score calculation
- The scores of the cards dealt are summed up, and the player who is closest to 9 wins.
4. judging of winners and losers
- If the betting target wins, the payout is paid. In the event of a tie, you will only receive a payout if you bet on a tie.
Bunker 3 to 6 conditions
Conditions for a player to draw a third card
- If a player’s total score is 5 or less, a third card is drawn.
Condition that the banker draws a third card.
Whether the banker draws a third card is based on the banker’s total score and the player’s third card.
| Total Banker’s score | Player’s third card is drawn in this case |
|---|---|
| 0 to 2 | Always pull |
| 3 | If the player’s third card is not an 8 |
| 4 | If the player’s third card is 2-7 |
| 5 | If the player’s third card is 4-7 |
| 6 | If the player’s third card is 6-7 |
| 7 or more | not to be underestimated |
- These conditions are automatically determined by the dealer and do not need to be memorized by the player.
Dividends and Deductions
- Player wins: 1x the wager is paid.
- Banker win: pays 1x your wager, minus a 5% commission (depending on casino).
- Draw: 8 times the wager is paid.
- Pair bet: When the same cards appear, you are paid 10 times your wager.
Winning Advice
- Betting on the banker is more advantageous: The win rate is statistically higher when betting on the banker, even taking into account the deduction rate.
- Draws pay high dividends but are risky: Note that draws pay high dividends but have a low win rate.
- Strict money management: It is important to play it cool even if a losing streak continues.
