Four standard 52-card decks are shuffled and placed in a device called
a "shoe", from which cards slide one by one. The decks are reshuffled at
the completion of any hand when 8 or fewer cards remain in the shoe.
In principal Baccarat is similar to Blackjack or 21. The object of
the game is to hold two or three cards which count 9, or nearer to nine
than the opponent. The card values are: Face cards and tens, 0; Aces, 1;
all other cards, their pip count. Units of ten are discarded, i.e. a
player dealt a 6 and an 8 has a count of 4, not fourteen.
A player whose first two cards total 8 or 9 has a "natural" and turns
the cards up immediately. In the event that the opponent also has a
natural, a natural 9 is superior to a natural 8. Two naturals of equal
value result in a stand-off and a new hand is dealt.
If neither hand is a natural the bank will, if necessary, deal the
player one additional card, face up, based on the following formula: Player
MUST stand if his first two cards total 6 or 7. Player MUST take a card if
his total is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4. Player has the option to take a card or
stand on 5.
The banker, too, is bound to draw or stand as follows:
BANK MUST DRAW ON - 0, 1, or 2
BANK MUST STAND ON - 7
If the bank has from 3 to 6, the following rules apply:
BANK BANK DRAWS IF BANK HAS OPTION IF
POINT PLAYER'S POINT IS PLAYER'S HAND IS
---------------------------------------------------------
3 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 9
4 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
5 5, 6, 7 4
6 6, 7
In all other cases, the Bank stands, except that if Player does not
draw, Bank stands on 6, and draws on 3, 4, and 5.
When both Player and Banker have received two or three cards, as
required, the hand is decided. If the totals are the same, the hand is a
stand-off and all bets are "off."
