Baccarat is a straightforward casino game that follows a specific set of rules. In baccarat, players can bet on either the player hand, the banker hand, or a tie. The goal of the game is to get the hand closest to nine. The dealer will deal two cards to the player and two cards to the banker. The third card may be drawn depending on the value of the hands. The player’s hand will always be the first to be dealt. All face cards and 10’s are worth zero points, whereas the remaining cards are worth their face value. The total value of the hand is the total of the values of the cards added together. The hand closest to nine wins the round.
