Online Baccarat

Baccarat is a card game that has been around for a very long time. The game is traditionally played amongst high rollers, but has recently become popular with the average punter. Who can forget James Bond playing high stakes baccarat against the infamous bad guy, Le Chiffre, in Casino Royale?

The rules are few and can appear a little daunting to the uninitiated, but with a bit of practise you can pick them up and enter the major league of casino players. The essence of the game is in predicting the hand values of the Player and Banker. The hand with a value closest to 9 wins, and hands of equal value are a tie. To start, the cards that are numbered between 2 to 9 are worth face value, the aces are worth 1 point, and picture cards and tens are worth zero points. Bets on the Player payout even and bets on the Banker payout even with a 5% commission taken off.  A tie pays odds of 9/1.

While it is important to understand the rules of the game, the easiest way to learn is by actually playing Baccarat.
