Live Baccarat Game Rules
The Object of the Game
Two hands are dealt in Baccarat - The Banker's hand and the Player's hand.
Prior to each deal, the player wagers on whether the Player's hand or the
Banker's hand will be closest to a total of 9. The player also has the option to
wager on a tie (i.e. both the banker's and player's hands total the same). 8
decks of 52 cards are used.
Betting
Select the amount you would like to wager on a given hand by clicking the left
mouse button on a chip and left clicking on the "Player", "Banker" or "Tie"
sections of the gaming table. Each click on the betspot position will add
another chip to the bet.
REPEAT: If you bet in the previous game round, you can click the REPEAT button
to automatically place the same bets in this round. (providing you have a
sufficient cash balance)
DOUBLE: If the REPEAT button has been selected, the player is given the option
to automatically double the stake placed.
UNDO: Selecting the UNDO button will remove your bet chips one by one from the
game table in the reverse order of their placement. Click UNDO once to remove
the last chip placed, or several times to keep removing the bets that have been
placed.
If you place a wager that is lower than the minimum table bet limit, you will
receive a pop up message when the betting period is over and your bet will be
rejected.
If you place a bet that is higher than the maximum table limit, a tooltip will
appear reminding you of the maximum bet limit and you will not be able to place
that bet.
GAMEPLAY:
After the betting time period has expired, the Player and Banker are dealt two
cards.
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, the "Third
Card Rule" (See Below) will determine if a 3rd card is to be dealt. No hand
receives more than three cards.
When the Player and Banker hands equal the same total, the hand is declared a
Tie and all bets (other than Tie bets) for that game are voided. If the value of
the cards in either the Player's Hand or the Banker's Hand is an 8 or a 9 (a
"natural") after receiving their 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".
Third Card Rules:
For the Player's Hand to Draw
If the Player's two cards total:
0-5 Player's hand must draw
6-7 Player's hand must stand
8-9 "Natural" (Both hands stand)
For the Banker's Hand to Draw
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)
When the Banker's third card decision depends on the third card drawn by the
Player, the following rules apply:
If the Player's hand stands on two cards (6,7), then a two card Banker hand
totalling 3,4,5 must draw and a Banker hand totalling 6 must stand.

If you have selected to play at a "pairs" table, you have two additional betting
