Rules
are very important in all walks of life but when it comes to playing
casino games, it is crucial to have rules to fall back on. If there no
rules to fall back on, casino games would not be enjoyable and chaos
would ensue. This is very true for baccarat, so if you are looking to
maximize your enjoyment levels from this game, it is important to know
what the rules are. Baccarat is played on a shoe with either a six-deck
or eight-deck. All of the face cards and cards that have a nominal
value of 10 will have no value in the game. Cards that are nominally
less than ten will be able to use their expected value and all aces are
worth 1. The suits of the card do not matter and only single digit
values will be counted. If any count foes above a double digit count,
the left digit is dropped. For an example, a count of 15 will be
counted as a 5 and a count of 25 will also be counted as a 5.
To begin the game, players should bet on either a standoff, punto or
banco. The dealer will hand out two cards each, initially to the player
and then to the banker. The point and purpose of the game is to place a
bet on the hand that you believe will have the highest total value.
There are various rules based upon dealing out a third card although it
not essential to understand these rules in advance because they are
compulsory. This means the dealer will know but then again, some
players like to know everything about the game and it can help to
minimize any mistakes from the dealer during the course of the game.
With respect to the player, if they or the banker has an 8 or a 9 with
their first two cards, no additional cards are drawn. The hand is
classed as a natural and the hand is over. If the player has a count of
five or less, they will draw an additional card. If the player does not
take a third card, the banker will stand on 6 or more and they will
take a third card if they draw a 5 or less.
There are also additional rules for the bank to take an additional
card. If the bank has 2 or less with respect to their count, they will
take a third count regardless of what the players value is or what
their third card is. If the bank has a card count of 3, the bank will
drawn an additional card unless the player had a count of 8. If the
bank has a card count of 5, the bank will a third card unless the
player has a count of 0, 1, 8 or 9. If the bank has a card count of 5,
the bank draws an additional card if the player has a third card of 4,
5, 6 or 7.
