Learn to play live dealer Baccarat in this video tutorial from William Hill Live Casino.
The objective of Baccarat is to correctly predict which of the two hands (Player or Banker) will have a point value closest to you also have the option to wager on a tie.
In baccarat, all tens and picture cards are worth zero, aces are worth 1, and all other cards are worth their face value. If the value of cards exceeds 9, then the value is adjusted by subtracting 10 from the total.
For example:
Hand + Hand = Total
9+7 = 16 = 6
5+5+5 = 15 = 5
10+9 = 19 = "Natural" 9
After the first two cards are dealt to both the Player and Banker, a third additional card may be dealt.
When your hand and the Banker's hand equal the same total, the hand is declared a Tie and all bets for that game are voided.
If the value of the cards in either your Hand or the Banker's Hand is an 8 or a 9 (a "natural") after receiving your initial two cards then no more cards shall be dealt to either hand.
If the value of the cards in either hand on the first two cards is 0 to 7 inclusive, the hands shall draw in accordance with the "Third Card Rules" which include:
0-5 Player's hand must draw
6-7 Player's hand must stand
8-9 "Natural" (Both hands stand)
If the Banker's two cards total:
0-2 Banker's hand must draw
3-6 Third card to Player's hand determines draw or stand
7 Banker's hand must stand
8-9 "Natural" (Both hands stand)
