A player will receive a minimum of two cards and a maximum of three. In Baccarat you can not bust. 8 and 6 make 14 but that becomes four and the player will receive one final card.
If the first two cards received add up to 8 or 9, the hand is declared a 'natural' which is like a Blackjack in Blackjack. A natural 9 though beats a natural 8.
If either the banker or player receives a natural, no more cards are given out.
The player always receives another card when the hand total is five or less and unless the banker has a natural, stands on six and seven.
Like Blackjack, winning hands pay 1:1 and if you bet on a tie and it occurs you receive a payout of 8:1.
As the Baccarat rules make all decisions automatic there is no much room in Baccarat for systems and strategies. These are the Baccarat rules:
1. If either the player or the banker has a natural no more cards are drawn and the hand is over. If both player and banker receive naturals, the hand is a tie.
2. If the players total is 5 or less he receives a third card.
3. If the player does not received a third card, then the banker stands on 6 or more and hits on 5 or less.
If the player does take a third card then these are the rules for the banker.
4. If the banks total is 2 or less then bank hits, regardless of what the players third card is.
5. If the banks total is 3 then the bank hits unless the players third card was an 8.
6. If the banks total is 4 then the bank hits unless the players third card was a 0, 1, 8, or 9.
7. If the banks total is 5 then the bank hits if the players third card was 4, 5, 6, or 7.
8. If the banks total is 6 then the bank hits if the players third card was a 6 or 7.
9. If the banks total is 7 then the bank stands.
Once the final cards are dealt, the score of the player and dealer are compared.
The winning hand is the one with the greater total.
