Rules
Baccarat's objective is to predict which of the two hands dealt (Banker or Player) will be closer to a value of 9.

The player competes against the banker. Wagers are placed in the Tie, Banker and Player areas shown on the table. Cards are dealt from a deck of cards called a shoe. Traditionally, the shoe contains anywhere from six to eight standard 52-card deck without jokers.

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 the cards is as follows:

10, J, Q, K = 0

Ace = 1

Numbered cards retain face value.

Determine the value of your wager and what bet you want to play and then place your wager(s) on the table.

The banker then deals two cards to the player, two cards to the banker and then turns the cards face up.

If the value of the cards in either the Player's Hand or the Banker's Hand is an 8 or a 9, (called a NATURAL), after receiving their initial two cards then no more cards shall be dealt to either hand.

If the value of the cards in the Banker's hand on the first two cards is 0 to 7 inclusive, the Player's hand shall draw in accordance with the third card rules.

When the Player's hand is completed then the Banker's hand is played out.

Once the Banker's hand is complete, the Player's hand is compared to the Banker's hand and win(s), loss(es) or tie(s) are determined.

The hand is declared a Tie when the Player and Banker hands equal the same total,
