1. What is Baccarat?
Baccarat is a card game that’s been around for centuries and is played in casinos all over the world. It’s played with six decks of cards and a special dealer’s card which has extended point values. The game is played by two to eight people and each player is dealt two cards.They have to choose one and play a suit to their six-card hand. If they can’t, their opponent wins hands down. The dealer starts the game and hands down three cards and says, “deal.” Players take their two hands and place them face down. The dealer then looks at all six faces of the cards to determine if they are a rank or a value. The twisted middle card represents a rank and is the lowest value. If the dealer cannot or doesn’t choose a suit, it is a value suit and the player goes to the next player, starting at the dealer.
Each player starts with a hand of three cards of same suit as their opponent’s and each player only has two cards left as the game progresses. If the dealer cannot decide a rank and doesn’t have a suit, it is a value suit and the player goes back to the dealer. If, however, the player’s suit is a rank and their opponent’s suit is a value, they both go to the next player and the game continues until the dealer begins dealing a new hand. If, however, one of the players in a suit beats the dealer’s highest card, or if the dealer cannot buy enough rank cards to buy back their lowest card, the dealer gets a point for that hand. If all the players in a suit or value suit win, the players draw and play a new hand. If they can’t, the game is a draw and each player goes to the dealer, starting over. The best part of this game is that each game is unique.
2. How to Play Baccarat
When you play baccarat, you have to choose one of three bets: Player, Banker, or Tie. The Player bet is the safest bet because it only pays out at 3-1. The Banker bet is a little riskier because it pays out at 1-1. The Tie bet is the most ‘wild’ bet because it pays out 1-6, but the pros of a tie are that it’s harder to lose. When we want to play baccarat, we usually think about how the casino is going to make money off our game. For example, you might bet $50 on an ace of hearts and they want to ask you for $100 (5-1). The question they might ask you is; what is the best hand to play for the best return on your bet? Well, we need to think about these betting scenarios in our heads and we usually make the same choices in each of them. If you had aces of hearts on the river, you might choose to play Player after your opponents have made their bets. If you were playing aces of hearts but it was against you, you might play Banker. We know they made the inferior bet, so why would we want to come back for it?
The reason we play the same hand is that we want our ratios to be the same. One is good — 2-1 good, 3-2. But the bank prefers to return a certain percentage more than they spend. It’s the casino’s job to determine this, but we need them to make it as 1-1 as possible. The pattern we see with most gambling is that we do the same thing every single time. We place our bets, then we wait. If the numbers in front of us are aces of hearts, then we automatically bet Player, especially if we know the casino is aiming for 3-2. Even if we fumble with our cards, we don’t offer any resistance because we are scared of losing.

If you’re looking for a fun and exciting game to play, try learning how to play baccarat! It’s simple to learn and fun for everyone. When you’re ready to play, make sure you bet on the player hand and the banker hand. If you f*** up the hand you played, your game is over. When playing baccarat, always make sure you stand at “safe distance”. This usually makes things easier for everyone involved. The best strategy for any player is to never hold back. If the dealer is dealt a high card, a large pot is all but certain to follow. Never bet on the same player more than once in a single hand. It’s against the rules and could cost you the game. If this happens, recall that if you lose, you lose all the money you bet.
