In Baccarat, two cards are dealt to the Player hand and two to the Banker hand. You are not the “Player.” The Player is just one hand on which you can bet. The goal of Baccarat is to predict which hand will score closest to nine points. You can bet on the Player hand, on the Banker hand, or on a Tie.
A hand of eight or nine points is considered a natural and automatically wins, unless there is a tie. If both hands have a natural, the hand with the highest point value wins. However, if you bet on the Banker or Player hand and both hands have naturals of equal point value, your bet is pushed back to you.
In the event that neither hand has a natural, each hand is dealt a third card according to rules governing how the Player and Banker hands are dealt. Please see rules below.
