Baccarat Guide

Baccarat is a casino card game that's very popular with high rollers. The object of the game is to hold 2 or 3 cards that total as close to 9 as possible. Baccarat is originally a French game. 2 cards are dealt to each player, who are playing against the dealer. Face cards and tens count as 0 in this game, and players are allowed to draw 1 card. The goal is to have a total that's final digit is closer to 9 than the dealer's.

Baccarat requires no skill to play, and the house edge is only 1.06%, which makes it one of the better deals for table game players who don't want to think too hard.

Mini-baccarat is a newer version of baccarat that's essentially the same as the original game, but has some differences, which we explain in our mini-baccarat guide.
