Nowadays Baccarat is becoming more and more popular online game despite the fact that it is an Italian game and most well-known baccarat winning strategies have appeared recently. But before talking about strategies let’s familiarize ourselves with the rules of this game: The goal of the game is to predict which one of the two hands (Banker of Player) will have the highest value for a hand, or a point total closest to 9.

When the dealer draws the first card from the shoe, you cannot already place bets, you should do it earlier. If you wager on the Banker hand, you must add a commission equal to 5% of your wager in the appropriate area on the layout.

Some words about the value of cards: Face cards and tens count as 0, Aces count as 1 and all other cards are counted at face value. And at last it is rather simple to learn the value of the hand. The last digit of the whole sum of the cards is the final value of the hand. For example, look at this sequence 10 + 4 + 9 = 13. As a result the digit 3 is the value of this hand.

And remember also the next Baccarat rule: the first and third cards dealt from the shoe make up the Player hand, and the second and fourth cards make up the Banker hand. After the distribution of cards, the dealer announces the point count for each hand.

And, of course, we should explain, who wins or losses in this game. If the total value of the Player hand is higher than that of the Banker hand, a wager on the Player hand (Joueur) wins. And it is clear that it loses if its total value is lower than that of the Banker hand.
