Baccarat Step-by-Step Guide
Online baccarat game is different if compared to classic land casino game. In order to understand all the rules we provide a special step-by-step guide to the game of online baccarat.
Step 1. Baccarat table
Though it seems to be very simple, we still recommend you to take a closer look at the baccarat table on the corresponding page. There you will find out all the basic things you should know before you sit down at a baccarat game table.
Step 2. Placing a bet
In order to place a bet a player is to choose the chips he wants to bet and place them in one or two or all of the betting areas (Banker, Tie and Player bets).
Step 3. Dealing cards
As soon as the player finishes placing the bets and presses the Deal button, the dealer deals two cards per player and banker hands.
The hand total is counted by adding the values of the cards. Small cards 2-9 have the face value, tens and face cards are counted as 0, an Ace counts as 1. If the hand total is ten or higher, the first digit is dropped.
Step 4. Comparing hand values
The hand totals are counted and if one of the hands is 8 or 9, it is an automatic winner. The casino displays a sign indicating which hand wins and pays out the wins if one of the bets won.
Step 5. Third card
If neither of the hands equals 8 or 9, the dealer can deal the third card. To familiarize yourself with the rules for third cards, please go to the baccarat rules page.
If both hands need a third card, the dealer deals a third card to both hands. The value of the hands is compared and the wins are paid out.
In case of a tie (if both player and banker hands are of the same value) the tie bet wins, all the other bets losing.
