Dragon Bonus Royal Baccarat Betting Rules
The objective of the game is to bet on whichever of two hands, the Player's hand or the Banker's hand, that will have a point value closest to 9.
Card Values
- All cards except for Tens, Picture Cards, (Jacks, Queens and Kings) and Aces, are worth their face value
- All Tens and "Picture Cards" are counted as 0
- Aces are counted as 1
There are no values greater than 9 in Baccarat. If the total value of the hand is over 10 points, subtract 10, and the remainder shall be the final point value. Below are a few examples:
4 + 2 + 6 = 2
5 + 6 + 8 = 9
7 + 3 = 0
10 + 10 + 10 = 0
