South African Casinos Baccarat Information and GuideLines

Baccarat is one of the oldest games played in modern casinos. Records suggest the game may have been played as far back as the fifteenth century in France where it is sometimes also known as punto banco. There are just three bets to make and the game is often played for quite high odds. In a traditional casino Baccarat tables are often kept separate from the rest of the casino in a ‘Baccarat Pit.’ The Baccarat table is easy to recognize. It is often quite large and can have seating for as many as twelve people.

Baccarat is a card game played with a single deck of cards. The objective of the game is to predict which of the two hands (Banker or Player) that are about to be dealt will be closer to having a value of 9.

Playing the Game

Baccarat is played with a single deck of cards. Two hands of cards are dealt, one for the Player and one for the Banker. Each hand will have 2 or 3 cards. These cards are dealt according to a set of rules that are the same wherever Baccarat is played.

The amount to be wagered on each game of Baccarat is displayed in the ‘Amount Bet’ or ‘Bet’ box. This amount may be adjusted by clicking on the 'Increase' or 'Decrease' buttons. These buttons will increment or decrement the amount wagered.

Once the size of the wager has been determined you must decide which of three possible bets you wish to make before the cards are dealt. You can decide to bet on the Banker’s hand winning, the Player’s hand winning or the possibility of a Tie. Clicking on the appropriately labeled buttons to place these bets. Once the bet has been placed the two hands will be dealt.

The winning hand will be the one whose value is closest to nine (9). The value of a hand is calculated by adding up the value of the card. Aces have a value of 1. Face (picture) cards and tens (10s) have no value and do not contribute to the value of the hand. All other card values are treated as they appear i.e. 2=2, 3=3, 4=4 and so on.

If the value of a Baccarat hand exceeds 9 then the value of the hand is taken as the "unit" portion of the total. Thus, if a hand consists of an 8 of clubs and a 7 of diamonds the total for the hand would be 15. You would not take into account the "10s" part of the total, resulting in a value of 5. Also if the final total of the cards was 20 you would not take into account the 2 (tens portion) giving you a hand value of 0.

Once the winning hand is determined and it is the one you backed you will win.

General Rules of Baccarat

The player should take note of the following rules:

A 5% commission is taken when the player bets on a winning Banker's hand.

Face cards and 10s have no value in Baccarat.

A tie that the player did not bet on pays the player back his ante.

Payout Schedule

Should the player have chosen the winning hand the payout will made according to this table:

The Winning HandThe Payout
The Banker WinsTwice the bet -5% commission on winnings for the House.
The Player WinsTwice the bet
A Tie WinsThe player wins 8 times the bet.

 

If the hand the player chose to back wins, the player is paid double his bet, unless he bet on a tie in which case the payout is eight (8) times the amount he bet. If the Player wins when backing the Banker’s hand the House charges a small percentage. Should the player have backed a losing hand his ‘Ante’ is lost. Should the hands be tied and the player has not bet on a Tie the player’s ‘Ante’ will be returned.


Baccarat Tips

This winning baccarat system tries to put three factors to good use:

1) In Baccarat each round of play results in a win. For either player or bank. There is nothing similar to the 0 and 00 in Roulette to destroy a winning system. Ties are standoffs, where neither bank nor player loses.

2) We have a unique situation in baccarat, where one side wins more often than the other. The bank bet wins 50.68% of the time. Even though the house takes 5% commission, it only takes this commission on winning banker bets, not losing ones. So if you lose on a banker bet, you will not pay an additional vigorish.

3) Sometimes in baccarat the bank hand will win one round after another, and at other times the player hand will do the same thing. The odds of the game, however, favor the bank hand, and winning streaks tend to be longer and stronger on the banker side.

So you'll use the bank bet as the basic wager and try to take advantage of winning streaks.
It is a good idea to keep track of what's happening on a scorecard furnished either by the house, or supplied by the player himself.

A Little Bit about Baccarat


Baccarat is a game who's name is derived from the Italian word baccara, meaning zero. Baccara, refers to the zero value of the face cards and tens. Baccarat is most popular in Europe, where it is considered to be one of the more elegant games to play. Traditionally, Baccarat is played with no upper table limit, but that has become quite rare in the past few years.
