How to Play Baccarat
Betting: Your chips are stacked by
denomination ($1, $5, $25, $100, $500) at the
bottom of the game window. Select the amount you
would like to wager on a given hand by clicking
the left mouse button on the chip of that
denomination to activate it.
Next, place
your bet on the Baccarat table by clicking on a
bet field. To specify a bet that is not equal to
an existing chip denomination, simply click on
another chip denomination after placing your
previous chip on the table. For example, to bet
$30, click on the $25 chip and place it on the
table then click on the $5 chip and place it on
top of the $25 chip.
By clicking on the
right mouse button you will withdraw your entire
wager. Your total bet will be displayed in the "Bet" just below "User". You may repeat your last
bet by clicking on the shortcuts which are
summarized below. If you place a wager that is
lower than the minimum table bet limit, your bet
amount will be automatically adjusted to the
minimum bet amount.
Dealing: After
the player has pressed either the Deal or Pass
button, the Player and Banker are dealt two cards.
All tens and picture cards are worth zero, aces
are worth 1, and all other cards are worth their
face value. If the value of cards exceeds 9, then
the value is adjusted by subtracting 10 from the
total.

| 9+7=16 |

| 5+5+5=15 |

| 10+9=19 |
"Natural"

After the first
two cards are dealt to both the Player and Dealer,
a third additional card may be dealt but the
player does not ask for a third card. All
additional cards are subject to a "Third Card
Rule". No hand receives more than three cards.
When the Player and Banker hands equal the same
total, the hand is declared a Tie. If the value of
the cards in either the Player's Hand or the
Banker's Hand is an 8 or a 9 (a "natural") after
receiving their initial two cards then no more
cards shall be dealt to either hand. If the value
of the cards in the Banker's hand on the first two
cards is 0 to 7 inclusive, the Player's hand shall
draw in accordance with the "Third Card Rules".
Third Card Rules:
If
the Player's two cards total:
| Player's

| 0-5 |
Player's hand must draw |
| 6-7 |

After the
Player's Hand acts on a third card draw, the
Banker's Hand receives a third card according to
these rules:
| Banker's

Draw? |
| 0-2 |
Banker's hand must draw |
| 3-6 |
Third card to Player's hand
