The Baccarat Strategy and Rules

Baccarat is one of the most simple of all casino card games, and yet is one that is not as widely understood and played throughout the world.

The aim of Baccarat is to assemble your hand to contain two or three cards with a total value of nine, or secondly eight. The absolutely perfect hand is one that contains two cards and their value totals nine, this is known as a “Natural Nine” or a “Natural Eight”. If any of the players, including the banker, has a “Natual Nine” or a “Natural Eight” then the other players may not draw a third card – that player is the winner unless there is a tie between two players in which case the game is void. If there are no “Naturals” then players decide whether to bet or fold.

Card Scoring:

Card	Value
Ace	1
Picture Card (Jack to King)	0
All other cards	Face Value

If the total of a hand is greater than ten then the initial figure is ignored, e.g. if a card hand total was 17 then the actual total is 7.

Hand Totals:

Cards	Value	Total Score
5, 4	5 + 4	9 (Natural Nine)
3, Ace, 7	3 + 1 + 7	11 – 10 (remove first digit) = 1
Jack, 7, 2	0 + 7 + 2	9
5 , 8, 8	5 + 8 + 4	17 – 10 (remove first digit) = 7

The way to bet at Be the Dealer Casino is to bet on whether there will be a Tie, or the Banker will win, or the Player will win.
