How the Game of Baccarat is Played!
This ancient game
is played with 8 decks of cards. The cards are shuffled and placed in
a box called a "shoe" to be dealt.
Those
participating in the game place a wager on either Banker or Player.
Two hands, of two cards each are dealt from the shoe. Later, a third
card may be required for either hand. The first hand represents those
betting on Player, the second hand represents those betting on
Banker. The winning hand
is the one which totals the closest to 9. Tens, cards totaling ten and
picture cards count nothing. Ace is counted as one, deuce as two, etc.
If the cards total a two digit number, only the last number counts
(i.e. 7+8=15; 15 counts as 5).
The cards are
dealt from the shoe by those wagering on the game. The shoe is passed
one person to the right each time Player wins or if the person dealing
elects to pass the shoe.
The hand
representing Player is given face down to the person with the largest
wager... |
