Rules Baccarat – Euro Live Dealer Casino

 

Rules

Eight decks of cards are used.

Cards are given point values as follows: Ace = 1, 2-9 = pip value, 10 and face cards = 0.

At the start of a new shoe, the dealer will turn over one card. This will determine how many cards the dealer will burn, according to the baccarat value, except a 10 or face card will result in 10 cards burned.

The cut card will be placed approximately one deck (52 cards) from the bottom of the shoe. When the cut card appears, the dealer will finish that hand, play one more hand, and then start a new shoe. If the cut card comes out instead of the first card, the dealer will finish that hand, and then start a new shoe.

Play begins by all players betting either on the "player", "banker", or a tie during the predefined betting time displayed in the application.

After the betting time has ended and the game has entered “no more bets” mode the bets will be sent to the server and the dealer will give two cards each to the player and the banker. The score of the hand is the right digit of the total of the cards. For example, if the two cards were an 8 and 7, then the total would be 15 and the score would be a 5. The scores will always range from 0 to 9 and it is impossible to bust.

A third card may or may not be dealt to either the player or the dealer depending on the following rules:

1. If either the player or the banker has a total of an 8 or a 9 they both stand. This rule overrides all other rules.
2. If the player's total is 5 or less, then the player hits, otherwise the player stands.
3. If the player stands, then the banker hits on a total of 5 or less. If the player does hit then use the chart below to determine if the banker hits (H) or stands (S):

• The score of the player and dealer are compared; the winner is the one that is greater. Winning bets on the banker pay 19 to 20 (even money less a 5% commission), winning bets on the player pay 1 to 1, winning bets on a tie pay 8 to 1. In the event of a tie, banker and player bets will push.
