To play baccarat you must select chips with the appropriate value and put them on a sector marked by "Player", "Banker" or "Tie". You can make combined bets, except for the Player-Banker one. When an initial bet is made, you must click Deal and the dealer deals all two cards in the clear.

The amount of points in the calculation of cards depends on their value:
- An ace has 1 point;
- Cards with pictures and tens (ten, jack, queen, king) have 0 points;
- Cards with numbers (from two to nine) have from 2 to 9 points (according to their face value).
The amount of points is calculated by adding the points of cards. At the same time - if the amount exceeds 9 points, then 10 is subtracted from such amount. Only the first digit of the resulting number is taken for the sum. (Example: 7+8 = 15, i.e. the sum of points is equal to 15 - 10 = 5 points).

If the amount of the player's or banker's points is equal 8 or 9 after dealing the first two cards, then the Natural is proclaimed, and the game ends. Results are calculated and the bet which has more points wins.

If neither the player nor the banker have scored 8 or 9 points, then the game continues as follows: depending on the amount of points distribution of the additional card is possible for the player, first, after, for the banker.

After the distribution of the third card (if it takes place), the total score is finally calculated and the game ends.

Here are three options of possible results when you play baccarat cards:
1. The player scored more points. The Player bid wins with the payment of winning 1:1;
2. The banker scored more points. The Banker bid wins with the payment of winning 1:1 (minus 5% in favor of the casino);
3. The player and banker have gathered an equal number of points (tie). The Tie bid wins and the payment of winning is 9:1.

Winning bids appear on a special display, in the form of the first letters of their names: P, B and T - in the sequence of their deposition.

It should be noted that counting the amount of points and distribution of the third card are made automatically if you play baccarat online. From a player is only required to bet and wait for the results.
