Virtual Baccarat Betting Rules

The objective of Baccarat is to bet on whichever of two hands, the Player’s hand or the Banker’s hand, that you think will have a point value closest to 9.

Or you can bet that both hands will have the same point value—a Tie game. In this case, only Tie bet wins. Your bets on Player’s and Banker’s hand do not win or lose, and the stake will be refunded.

Over a long period of time, the game is likely to average a return to the player (RTP) of 98.41% of the total bets made.

The game is played with 8 decks of cards.

Card Values

• Ace = 1 point
• 10, J, Q, K = 0 point
• Any other cards = face value

There are no values greater than 9 in Baccarat. If the total value of the hand is over 10 points, the second digit is the value of the hand.

Examples:

3+4=7        9+5=4       Q+K+2=2

Drawing Rules

In Baccarat, the following standard casino rules determine how the cards are dealt.

1. All cards are dealt face up in the following order:
   The first card to the Player.
   The first card to the Banker.
   The second card to the Player.
   The second card to the Banker.
   If dictated by the drawing rules, the third card to the Player.
   If dictated by the drawing rules , the third card to the Banker.

2. The decision to deal a third card to the Player is made automatically as below:
   
   

   Total of First Two Cards	Draw or Stand
   0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5	Draw a third card unless the Banker has a Natural hand
   6, 7	Stand
   8, 9	Stand (Natural hand)

   * A Natural hand is a two-card hand totalling 8 or 9.

   Example:
   If the Player has 2, the Player draws a third card unless the Banker has a Natural 8 or Natural 9.
   
   If the Player has 6, the Player stands. Banker will draw a third card when it has 5 or less.

3. If the Player draws a third card, the decision to deal a third card to the Banker is made automatically as below:
   
   

   Total of First Two Cards	Draw when the Player's third card is	Stand when the Player's third card is
   0, 1, 2	0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
