Topic maintained by (see all topics)



Baccarat originates from France in the late 15th century and there are three variations: Baccarat Banque, Baccarat Chemin de Fer, and Punto Banco. The first two versions allow the players to make choices during gameplay so there is an element of skill, whereas Punto Banco is strictly a game of chance as the players moves are dictated by the cards dealt and is the variation you will usually find in online casinos.

Purpose of the Baccarat


For the purposes of Baccarat, aces count as one, two's through to nine's count as face value, and ten's/pictures count as zero. Four cards are dealt with the first and third going to the Player's hand, the second and fourth to the Banker's hand. If either hand totals 8 or 9, each of these numbers is called a 'natural' hand and no additional cards are dealt. The winning hand is the one with a total closest to 9 and if the totals are equal then it is a 'tie'.

The Dealer


The dealer may need to deal a third card after the initial draw, this is dependent on the points accumulated by each hand. If this is the case then a third card is drawn face up, first to the player's hand and then, if necessary, to the Banker's hand. No more cards are dealt after the third one. The rules for drawing a third card are based on the following:

Winning Hands


Winning hands are paid 1 to 1 for Player's hands. Banker's hands are also paid 1 to 1 but there is a 5% house commission on all winning Banker wagers. Tie bets are paid 8 to 1 meaning you get back your initial bet plus an additional amount equal to the bet multiplied by 8.
