What are the Basic Rules of Baccarat?

The aim of the game in Baccarat is to predict which hand will be closer to nine – the player’s or the banker’s - and you can play on either, as well as the tie. Additionally, the following rules apply to the banker & player hands following the initial deal:

Player rules

• If the player receives a natural hand of 8 or 9, it’s an immediate win and no further cards are drawn. As a result, the player’s hand stands.

• The player’s hand is also required to stand on totals of 6 or 7.

• On totals from 0 to 5, the player draws a third card (unless the banker has 8 or 9).

Banker rules

When the banker’s first two cards total:

• 0/1/2 - Bank draws in all instances unless the player shows a natural 8 or 9.

• 3 – Bank draws if the player’s third card is 0-7 or 9. The banker stands when the player has 8.

• 4 – Bank draws if the player’s third card is 2-7. The banker stands when the player has 0/1/8/9.

• 5 – Bank draws if the player’s third card is 4-7. The banker stands when the player has 0-3 or 8-9.

• 6 – Bank draws if the player’s third card is 6-7. The banker stands when the player has 0-5 or 8-9.

• 7 – Bank stands.

• 8-9 – Neither hand draws a third card.

While you don’t need to memorise all of the above banker rules, it’s helpful to have them to refer to during any Baccarat game.
