Objective: The goal of Baccarat is to bet on the hand (Player, Banker, or Tie) that comes closest to a total of 9 points.

Card Values:

• Aces = 1 point
• Cards 2–9 = Face value
• 10, Jack, Queen, King = 0 points

Gameplay:

• Two hands are dealt: the Player’s hand and the Banker’s hand.
• Each hand receives two cards initially.
• If the total of a hand is greater than 9, only the last digit counts (e.g., a total of 15 becomes 5).

Third Card Rules:

• A third card may be drawn depending on the totals of the Player’s or Banker’s hand. Specific rules govern when this happens (often pre-determined by the casino or game rules).

Betting Options:

• Player Bet: Pays 1:1.
• Banker Bet: Pays 1:1 but often includes a 5% commission due to its slightly better odds.
• Tie Bet: Pays 8:1 or 9:1, but it’s riskier due to lower odds of occurring.
