How to Play Baccarat - Great Casino Strategy

Welcome to How to Play Baccarat. The following pages will provide a great casino baccarat strategy. Baccarat is played in a snobbish roped off area to divide itself from the other games. The players are typically very well clothed and the table minimums are often high. The usual baccarat table is about the size of a craps table with 3 casino dealers and up to 12 or 14 players. Each player, including the player dealing, may still bet on either the player or the banker but it is usual for the dealer to bet on the banker.

The deal will go around the table, much like the dice rotate around the craps table. If a player does not want to deal they may pass the shoe to the next player. The same person will keep dealing as long as the banker keeps winning. The person dealing will put two cards, face down, tucked under the shoe, and give the player with the greatest bet on the player the other two cards, face down. This player then looks at the cards and then gives them back to the player who is dealing. Then the player who is dealing will turn over the cards and one of the casino dealers will announce the totals. Depending on the totals the dealer may then instruct the person dealing the cards to deal a third card. Finally the dealers will pay winning wagers and collect losing ones out of the dealer's tray. The player who actually deals is not assuming any monetary accountability of the other players bets, unlike pai gow, and is just turning over cards.
