NJ Speed Baccarat

Game Objective

The objective in NJ Speed Baccarat is to predict whose hand will win by having the value closest to 9.

Game Rules

NJ Speed Baccarat is played with eight standard 52-card decks. Card values are as follows:

• Aces are the lowest cards and are worth 1 point each.
• Cards from 2 to 9 are worth their numerical face values.
• 10s and face cards (jacks, queens and kings) are each worth 0.

Cards are burnt after each shuffle. At the start of a new shoe, one card is drawn face-up from the shoe. The number of cards to be burnt depends on the face value of the first drawn card. In this card burning procedure, 10s and face cards will have a face value of 10 and will result in 10 cards burnt. Cards are burnt by placing them in the burnt card holder.

Only the numeric value of each card is relevant in the main Baccarat game; each card's suit (hearts, spades, clubs or diamonds) is irrelevant.

Prior to each deal, your bet has to be placed on whether the Player or the Banker will win the round by having the hand with a value closest to 9. You also have the option to bet that the round will end in a Tie, which occurs when both the Player and Banker hold hands of equal value.

Two cards are dealt each to the Player and to the Banker.

Two hands are dealt in Baccarat: one hand to the Player and one hand to the Banker.

If the Player and Banker hold hands of equal value, the round ends in a tie. The Tie bet wins, and bets on the Player and Banker push (are returned).

Each hand's value is calculated by dropping the tens digit in a hand otherwise worth 10 or more. For example, a hand consisting of a 7 and a 9 is only worth 6 in Baccarat (because 16-10=6).Similarly, a face card plus a 9 will be worth 9.

If the Player or the Banker receives an initial two-card hand worth 8 or a 9 (a "natural" 8 or 9), no additional cards will be dealt to either hand.

If the Player and Banker receive initial two-card hands worth 0-7, the "Third Card Rule" is consulted to determine if a third card is to be dealt to either hand or both hands.The Player always goes first.

Player's Hand

Banker's Hand

D - Draw; S - Stand

If the Player's hand stands on a 6 or 7, then a Banker hand totalling 3, 4 or 5 must draw, while a Banker hand totalling 6 must stand.

Whoever gets the hand closest to a total of 9 wins.

Scorecards

Baccarat streaks and trends for either the Player or the Banker using a particular shoe are recorded in various scoreboards. These pictorial representations of past round results and other statistics regarding the current shoe may be of help to you in predicting the results of future rounds.

The BEAD ROAD and BIG ROAD display the results of each past round, while the Big Eye Road, Small Road and Cockroach Road display patterns derived from the BIG ROAD.
Roads and shoe statistics are always cleared when a new shoe is introduced.

BEAD ROAD

Each cell in the BEAD ROAD represents the result of a past round. The result of the earliest round is recorded in the upper left corner. Read the column downwards all the way to the bottom; then start at the top of the adjacent column to the right and so forth. A solid red cell indicates a Banker win. A solid blue cell represents a Player win. A solid green cell represents a Tie. A red dot in the top left corner of a cell means the Banker had a pair. A blue dot in the bottom right corner of a cell means the Player had a pair.
You can change the Bead Road display from English to Simplified Chinese or Score Mode by clicking/tapping it anywhere.

BIG ROAD

In the BIG ROAD, the result of the earliest round is recorded in the upper left corner.

A new column is created each time the Banker’s winning streak changes in favor of the Player, or vice versa.

A cell outlined in red indicates a Banker win. A cell outlined in blue indicates a Player win.

A Tie is recorded as a green line through the cell for the preceding round. If the first round is a Tie, the green line will appear first, and the red or blue outline will appear around the line once the Player or Banker wins a round.

If there are two or more consecutive tie rounds, the number on line will show the number of ties.

DERIVED ROADS

For the true Baccarat enthusiast, the Big Eye Road, Small Road and Cockroach Road are included to display patterns derived from past results recorded in the BIG ROAD. The Big Eye Road uses outlined circles, the Small Road uses solid circles, and the Cockroach road uses slashes. However, in these derived roads, the colours red and blue do not correspond to Banker and Player wins, and there is no way to discern ties or pairs. In derived roads, red entries are a sign of repetition, whereas blue entries signal a more erratic, "choppy" shoe.

The derived roads do not start at the very beginning of the shoe. They start with the hand following the first hand in the second, third and fourth columns of the BIG ROAD. Once a derived road starts, an additional red or blue symbol is added after every round.

SHOE STATISTICS

The following statistics based on the current shoe are displayed for you:

Banker - The number of Banker wins thus far.

Player - The number of Player wins thus far.

Tie - The number of tie rounds thus far.

Banker (Pair): The number of Banker pairs thus far.

Player (Pair): The number of Player pairs thus far.
