Baccarat (pronounced bah-kah-rah) is considered the simplest of all casino table games, baccarat and is very similar in game play to its casino neighbor blackjack.
The main objective in baccarat is to have a hand as close to 9 as possible. Players must first choose the amount that they wish to bet on that hand and then select which betting option they would like to wager on. A player has three different possible betting options; player, dealer or tie.
A player selection bet is a wager that the player will have the higher hand, a dealer selection bet is a wager that the dealer will have a higher hand, and a tie is a wager that the dealer and player will have a tie – equal – hand value.
