Baccarat Reimagined!

This enthralling new simplification of Baccarat is fast, friendly, and fun.

How to Play

To begin, place a bet on “Player”, “Banker”, or “Tie”. The Player and Banker hands will be made up of 2 cards minimum and 3 cards maximum. To score the hand, use the last digit of the total value of the cards, with face cards counting as 0. The side with the higher score wins.

The dealer starts by giving two cards to the Player and Banker hands. If either hand has a score of 8 or 9, no more cards are drawn, otherwise a 3rd card is drawn for each hand according to the following rules:

  • Draw with 4 or less and stand on 6 or more.
  • Player 5 draws, but Banker 5 does the opposite of whatever Player does
    • If the Player stands then the Banker draws and if the Player draws then the Banker stands.

The hand with the higher score wins even money, while Tie bets and all other bets lose. If the hands tie, Tie bets pay 9 to 1. All other bets push (except that Banker bets lose on a 7-7 tie).
