To play Baccarat you simply choose whether you want to bet on Player, Banker, Tie, or any combination of the three.

Baccarat Card Values
The suits of the cards have no meaning in the game.
- Cards 2 through 9 count as face value.
- 10, Jack, Queen, and King count as 0.
- Ace counts as 1.
- To calculate the score for the hand, add the values of each card and drop the ten’s digit.
For example:
A hand with a seven of hearts and a seven of spades scores as follows:
7 + 7 = 14 – the ten’s digit = 4
A hand with 3 sevens has a score of 1:
7 + 7 + 7 = 21 – the ten’s digit = 1
