Baccarat is the oldest of all games played in modern casinos.
The objective of the game is to predict which of the two hands (Banker or Player) dealt will be closer to having a value of 9.
In Baccarat wagers are placed in the Tie, Banker or Player areas shown on the table.
Two hands of cards are dealt, one for the Player and one for the Banker. Each hand will contain either two or three cards.

The value of a hand is calculated by adding up the total of the cards. The card values are:

If the total of a hand exceeds nine, the value of the hand is the "unit" portion of the total. For more information, see the examples below.
If the hand you bet on wins, you are paid out according to the Payout Schedule.
Examples:
A hand consists of an Eight of Clubs and a Seven of Diamonds. The point values are 8 and 7, so the total of the hand is 8 + 7 = 15. As the "tens" portion of the total is ignored, the value of the hand is five.
A hand consists of a Nine of Spades, a Two of Hearts and a Nine of Diamonds. The point values are 9, 2 and 9, so the total of the hand is 9 + 2 + 9 = 20. As the "tens" portion of the total is ignored, the value of the hand is zero.
