MIDI BACCARAT

The object of the game of Baccarat is to get to a point count closest to 9 on whichever of two possible hands the player wagers.  All cards count at face value, except for 10’s and face cards, or any combination of them, which have no value. For example: 9+5=4; Jack+2=2.

HOW TO PLAY

There are three main ways to wager: the Banker hand, the Player hand, or the Tie. A player may wager on any of the three main wagers or a combination of Banker and Tie or Player and Tie. Any time the Tie is wagered without a Banker or Player wager, it must meet the table minimum. Otherwise it can be the posted limits for the Tie. After all wagers are placed, four cards are drawn face down from the dealing shoe. The first and third cards are the Player hand and the second and fourth cards are the Banker hand. If the point count in either hand is 8 or 9 in the first two cards, the hand is over and no additional cards will be drawn. If not, the Player hand will draw a third card if that hand totals 0 through 5. The value of the third card drawn determines if the Banker hand receives a third card. No more than one additional card will be drawn to each hand. The hand closest to 9 wins. If both hands have the same total, the hand is a tie. Banker and Player wagers do not lose and tie bets wagered win at odds of 8 to 1. Any winning Banker and Player wagers are paid at odds of 1 to 1. Winning Banker hands are charged a 5 % commission that is collected at the time of the payout. All wagers are made in increments of $5.
