Baccarat, a game of chance with a touch of strategy, might be for you if you enjoy Blackjack. Here’s a rundown:

The Goal: Reach a total card value as close to 9 as possible, without going over.

Playing Against the Bank: You don’t compete against other players, but rather the “banker” (representing the casino).

Placing Your Bet: Before cards are dealt, choose where to place your chip: Player’s hand, Banker’s hand, or a Tie.

Card Values:

• Aces = 1 point
• Tens and Face Cards = 0 points
• Other cards = Face value

Going Over 9? Reduce to Single Digit: If your cards add up to more than 9, only the second digit counts (e.g., 8 + 7 = 15 becomes 5).

Winning Hand: The hand closest to 9 wins!

Payouts:

• Winning bet on Player or Banker pays even money (minus a 5% commission on Banker wins in some casinos).
• Winning Tie bet pays a much higher reward (often 8 to 1).

Good luck and play responsibly!
