How to Play Baccarat

Understanding the baccarat table is the first step; next, you need to grasp the game’s fundamental rules. The primary objective in baccarat is to achieve a hand value as close to nine as possible using Kubet two or three cards.

Card Values

• Cards 2-9: Face value
• 10, Jack, Queen, King: Worth zero
• Ace: Worth one

Gameplay Mechanics

1. Dealing Cards: The banker deals two cards to the player and two to themselves.
2. Calculating Hand Value: Sum the values of the two cards. If the total exceeds nine, only the second digit is considered (e.g., a hand of 7 and 8 totals 15, which counts as 5).
3. Drawing a Third Card:
   • If the player’s hand value is 5 or less, they draw a third card.
   • If the hand value is 6 or 7, the player stands.
   • If the hand value is 8 or 9, it is a “natural,” and no more cards are drawn.

Winning the Game

The goal is to predict which hand—Banker or Player—will have a value closest to nine. Bets can also be placed on a Tie, though this is statistically less likely.
