Baccarat

Baccarat is a popular casino game and was once the game of the elite people. The main aim of the game is to draw a hand as close as possible to nine. Dealer deals out two hands, player hand, and banker hand, from a shoe containing six or eight decks of cards. Placing of bets is before dealing of cards. Bets can be on the player hand, banker hand, or a tie.

Card values in baccarat are different in the sense that face cards are zero, while other number cards carry their numerical values. Add the values of the cards to determine value of a hand. Only the last digit of the total will count as the hand value.
