For many players Baccarat seem to be too complex game to understand but when you will start playing the game you will find the basics are actually incredibly easy to understand.

In Baccarat, there are two hands being dealt the player’s hand and the banker’s hand. At most single-table baccarat tables, both hands are dealt face-up. Now, just because you see a dealer’s hand a player’s hand, it doesn’t mean you’re automatically the player and the guy behind the felt is automatically the dealer. When you play baccarat online, you can choose to bet on the dealer. Or you can choose to bet on the player. Or you can choose to bet on a tie.

Once you’ve placed your bet, the cards are dealt. The goal of baccarat is to get as close to 9 as possible. At first, the two hands are dealt both cards. If the hand totals 0 through 5, a third card is dealt. If the hand is 6 or 7, no more cards are dealt. If the hand is 8 or 9, the hand automatically wins. If the hand ties, and a bet on a tie was placed, the hand pays out 9:1

Face cards and 10s are actually worth nothing. So if you’re dealt a Queen and a 5, even though you might think you’re seeing 15, it’s really only worth 5. That’s why a third card is dealt.
