Baccarat is a popular card game in India that follows specific table rules. The game is played between the player and the banker, with the goal of having a hand value closest to 9.
In Indian casinos, baccarat tables typically accommodate up to 14 players. Each player has the option to bet on either the player\“s hand, the banker\“s hand, or a tie. The dealer handles all card dealings according to established rules.
Card values in baccarat are straightforward: Aces count as 1, cards 2 through 9 retain their face value, and 10s and face cards （Jack, Queen, King） count as 0. If the total value of a hand exceeds 9, only the last digit is considered （for example, a hand totaling 15 becomes 5）.
The game begins with two cards dealt to both the player and banker positions. Depending on the initial totals, a third card may be drawn according to predefined rules. The banker\“s decision to draw a third card depends on the player\“s third card and the banker\“s current total.
Winning bets on player hands pay 1:1, banker bets pay 0.95:1 （due to 5% commission）, and tie bets typically pay 8:1 or 9:1. Indian players should familiarize themselves with these basic rules before participating in baccarat games at local casinos. |
