How to Play Live Baccarat

Players take their virtual seat and try to achieve a hand that’s closest to a total of 9. The game is played with eight decks of 52 cards.

Two hands are dealt – the banker’s hand and the player’s hand. Prior to each deal, the player can wager on whether the player’s hand or the banker’s hand will win by being closest to 9. The player also has the option to wager on a tie (i.e. both the banker’s and player’s hands will total the same).

After the betting time period has expired, the player and banker are dealt two cards.

Aces count as 1. Cards from 2 to 9 keep their value. 10 and face cards (King, Queen, Jack) count as zero. If the initial value of the hand is 10 or higher, then 10 is subtracted from the total and the figure remaining is the value of the hand.

Examples: Card One + Card Two = Total

9+7 = 16 (= hand value of 6)

5+5+5 = 15 (=hand value of 5)

10+9 = 19 (= ‘Natural’ 9)

After the first two cards are dealt to both the player and banker, the ‘Third Card Rule’ will determine if a third card is to be dealt. No hand receives more than three cards.

When the player and banker hands equal the same total, the hand is declared a Tie and all bets (other than Tie bets) for that game are voided. If the value of the cards in either the player’s hand or the banker’s hand is an 8 or a 9 (a ‘Natural’) after receiving their initial two cards, then no more cards shall be dealt to either hand.

If the value of the cards in either hand on the first two cards is 0 to 7 inclusive, the hands shall draw in accordance with the ‘Third Card Rules’.
