BACCARAT RULES
Two hands are dealt, one for the "player" and one for the "dealer". You can bet on either of the two hands.
If the hand you bet on wins, you receive a 1 to 1 payoff. You can also bet that the hands will be tied,
and you will receive an 8 to 1 payoff, but ties occur less than once out of every ten hands,
making the tie bet a fairly poor choice.
At the start, each hand receives two cards. If necessary, more cards are drawn according to the rules.
The hand closest to 9 wins. Tens, Jacks, Queens and Kings count 0. The Ace counts 1 and cards 2 through 9 have their number value.
The first digit of a two-digit number is always dropped. For example, if 5 and 7 are drawn for a total of 12, the count is 2. So you can't
"bust" in the game of Baccarat.
When there is a tie, nobody loses.
If the first two cards total 8 or 9, the hand is called a "natural" and it wins automatically, unless both hands have equal
value "naturals", in which case it's a tie. If neither hand has a natural additional cards are drawn to determine a winner.
All bets are made before the cards are dealt. In a real game every player at the table gets a chance to deal the cards,
but you don't have to deal if you don't want to, you can just pass to the next player.
That's all there is to Baccarat, but just becasue it is simple, don't think it's easy to win.
As in all casino games, the house has the advantage.
