Game Rules

The game is played with a single 52-card deck (excluding Jokers), cards are shuffled after each game round.

The Rebet button will rebet the last bet placed. After clicking on the button, it will be replaced by the Double button.

The Double button doubles the rebet, so long as this new value is both within the allowed limits and the player's playable balance. If doubling all bets exceeds the player’s playable credit, only the first few bets will be doubled until the playable credit limit is reached.

The Undo button located under the Rebet will cancel the last action.

• If playing on multiple seats games, there is a possibility that only some bets process while others don’t.
• A disconnection message might not be displayed to the player, and all decisions will proceed as the default decision.

Baccarat is a comparing card game played between two hands, the "Player" and the "Banker". Each baccarat hand has three possible outcomes that a player can bet on: "Player wins" (player has the higher score), "Banker wins" (banker has the high score), and "tie". It is strictly a game of chance, with no skill or strategy involved; each player's moves are forced by the cards the player is dealt.

The objective of Baccarat is to draw a two- or three-card hand that totals closer to 9 than the banker.

10, J, K, Q count as 0, Ace is a 1 and all other cards value are their pip value.

If your total is more than ten, you drop the ten. So a 7-9 hand totals to 6 (16, drop ten).

There is no such thing as a "bust" hand.

The Rules

A player can bet if the Player will win the hand (winning pays 1:1) or the Banker will win the hand (winning pays 1:1) or there will be a tie (winning pays 8:1)

The Banker and the Player each draw two cards.

If either the player or banker total 8 or 9, both automatically stand, no exceptions.

If the player's total is 6 or 7, the player stands.

If the player stands, the banker hits on a total of 5 or less.

If the player's total is 5 or less, the player automatically hits and the banker gives the player a third card.

If the player receives a third card then the banker draws a third card according to the following:
