@asdfxyz1 its a game of excitement and suspense. . . its to create anxiety and thrill. in the casinos I play this game all the time, you should hear the build-up and hype when someone is lifting it slowly, it truly is exciting. but again it is a high roller game only, minimum bet is 3-4 hundred per hand where I sit.

@UnWarierMage Are you going to believe in something everyone can modified or someone who actually knows about the game ?

@chi773guy what about Texas Hold' em Poker ? You do not like it ?

The way the scoring works (according to Wikipedia) is that your score is whatever the value of your cards is modulo 10.

in other words:

10 or picture + 10 or picture = 20... 20 mod 10 = 0 (20/10 = 2 remainder 0... we take the remainder as the score)... score = 0

10JQK + 9 = 19 (19/10 = 0 remainder 9)... score = 9

"Baccarat" also means "zero"... which is weird considering the game is named after the WORST possible hand.

Draw and stand rules are a little complicated... see wiki...

I play baccarat everyday. I love it and make money with it. It truely is the best game in the casino. The game is almost 50-50, and the shoe often delivers patterns that help you win hands.

Everyone at a seat can bet on the outcome of the player and banker hands. You can either bet Player or Dealer wins, or tie. Some casinos have a rule for a "dragon" bet, where the three cards the banker gets wins at a 7. Some casinos further have a bet on the player hand winning with the three cards totaling 8. These rules seem to vary from casino to casino, as do the payoffs.
