Baccarat Rules &
Strategies
There is no real strategy to follow to win at Baccarat but there are some
basic rules to understand:-
Players two card total
0 - 5 - Draw another card
6 - 7 - Stand
8 - 9 - Stand (Natural)
The banker hand must follow the actions of the player hand, thus if the
player has a natural the bank cannot draw a card. If the player stands
with a six or seven the bank has to do the following: -
Banker's Two Card Total
0 - 5 - Draw a card
6 or more - Stand
If the player draws a third card the banker will draw based on the value
of the player's third card as follows: -
2 or less - Must draw
3 - Ace,2,3,4,5,6,7,9 or 10
4 - 2,3,4,5,6 or 7
5 - 4,5,6 or 7
6 - 6 or 7
7 - Must stand
