Baccarat at UNION777TH
Baccarat has very few rules, and you pick a side before the cards are turned. Here is a full round from start to finish.
What baccarat is
Baccarat asks you to pick a side before the cards are turned. There are only a handful of rules, which is why most newcomers follow it within a few hands.
One round, step by step
- Players bet while the table is open.
- The dealer gives two cards each to the player side and the banker side.
- Totals are counted, and a third card is drawn if the rules call for one.
- The side closer to nine wins the round.
Counting the points
Only the last digit of a total counts. Number cards are worth their face value, tens and court cards are worth nothing, and an ace is worth one.
| Card | Value |
|---|---|
| Ace | 1 |
| 2 to 9 | Face value |
| 10, J, Q, K | 0 |
So an eight and a seven make fifteen, which counts as five.
The third card
Drawing a third card is not your decision — it is a fixed rule the dealer follows every time. If either side holds eight or nine from its first two cards, the round ends there.
The short version: your only job is choosing a side and a stake. The rest of the round runs itself.
Table vocabulary
- Player — the name of one betting side, not a reference to you.
- Banker — the other side you can back.
- Tie — a bet that both sides finish level.
- Shoe — the box the cards are dealt from.
