How to play baccarat?

Baccarat is a type of gambling. Entertainment is provided both in standard casinos and online sites. Recently, the game has become popular on all continents. Millions of people try their luck at baccarat. The strategies and rules of entertainment will be discussed in detail later.

The specifics of bets in baccarat

According to the official version, the author of baccarat is Felix Felguere. There are several references to this entertainment dating back to the Middle Ages. Then tarot cards were used as a gaming tool. Since 1490, the game has been coming to the highest European circles. For a long time she remained a favorite pastime of aristocrats.

The baccarat player has a goal. It consists of making a 2-3 card winning combination equal to or as close as possible to the number 9. Today, players are fighting against the dealer in the casino or the software when it comes to the electronic version. Basically, the dilemma is whether or not to take the third card. It can bring victory or defeat.

The gradation of cards in baccarat is as follows:

• Ace – 1 point;
• 2-9 – face value;
• tens and other cards – 0 points.

If there is a bust, that is, the player receives 10 or more points in his hands, then 10 is subtracted from this indicator. The resulting value is considered when counting cards from the participants of the round and identifying the winner. In the presented game, there are three types of bets. They are the following:

• on the player (punto) – bet on winning or losing a particular participant (2 to 1);
• on the dealer (banco) – bet on the dealer’s victory (2 to 1, plus deduction of commission 5%);
• for a draw – a bet on the same number of points for the dealer and the player (8 to 1).

You can put any amount on a special field. Betting is possible for third-party participants who are watching the game from the side. This type of betting is actively practiced in Live casinos with certain odds.

Step by step game process

The first stage of the game of baccarat against the casino involves the player’s bet. It is made before distribution by the dealer. The bet ranges from the minimum to the maximum set by the casino. During the distribution process, each participant, including the croupier, receives two cards. When the sum of 8-9 points is accumulated, the stage of comparing the indicator with the value received by the dealer is activated. When a player has less than 6 points, he must take an additional card.

If the number of points scored was 6-9, the player may not take additional cards. The number of points in the range of 8-9 is natural. With this amount, the player wins any dealer’s hand. The exception is the same number of points for the croupier. When the player has 8 points and the dealer has 9, the dealer wins (and vice versa). Additional cards cannot be taken if there are 8-9 points. Such participants stand while the rest can draw cards, provided that they have less than 6 points. There are no exceptions to the rule.

Remember strategy!

Baccarat strategies are used everywhere. But none of them guarantee 100% results. The best tactic is to bet on the pot. Experts recommend betting on boxing, which wins more often, that is, it has several successes in a row. You can remember the total number of points in each hand and adjust the bet based on the high or low probability of receiving certain cards in the issuance. But the main rule remains unchanged: do not get into a rage and do not play for the last money.
