Baccarat rules and round flow
Baccarat deals Player and Banker hands and compares totals after standard drawing rules. Card totals use the final digit, and the hand closest to nine wins.
Open the official Baccarat informationThe decisions the player controls
The main decision is the bet type: Player, Banker or Tie. Drawing is automatic, so players do not choose whether either hand receives another card.
Risk, house edge and provably fair results
The bet options have different house edges. Tie bets normally carry much greater long-run cost than Player or Banker despite the larger payout.
For the Shuffle Original, verify the dealt card order and resulting totals from the round record. The calculation should drop the tens digit from totals above nine and apply the published drawing rules.

After choosing Player, Banker or Tie, the drawing rules run automatically. A Banker bet can win even though the label does not mean the casino itself is wagering; it is simply the name of one of the two compared hands.
