Baccarat Rules and Tips: How to Play Baccarat

Baccarat is one of the easiest casino games to learn. You simply bet on which hand will be closer to 9: the Player or the Banker.

Card values

  • Aces count as 1.
  • 2 to 9 count as their number.
  • 10s and face cards count as 0.
  • If a hand totals 10 or more, only the last digit counts (for example 15 = 5).

The three bets

  • Banker: pays 1:1 minus a 5% commission, house edge about 1.06%.
  • Player: pays 1:1, house edge about 1.24%.
  • Tie: usually pays 8:1, house edge about 14.4%.

Tips

  • The Banker bet has the lowest house edge.
  • Avoid the Tie bet, even though the payout looks big.
  • Side bets are fun but usually carry a higher house edge.
  • Set a budget, as rounds are very fast.
