Baccarat is a traditional card game of chance, and has been popular across Europe for centuries. It is a game between the "Player" and the "Banker". In Portugal, it can be found in online and mobile casino sites.
In a Baccarat game, two cards are dealt to the Player and two to the Banker. The total number of points won by each player is calculated by adding the points of each card together. The Player's total must be lower than or equal to nine, and the Banker's total must be lower than or equal to eight. In case the total is higher than nine, the value is reduced by ten.
The possible outcomes of a Baccarat game are the Player's hand winning, the Banker's hand winning, or a tie. In case of a tie, the funds are returned to the respective players.
In a round of Baccarat, the Player and the Banker stand the same chance of winning. The decision of the Player on whether to draw a third card is based on the point total and the third-party rules. The values of the cards in each hand are an essential part of the game.
