Baccarat is a popular card game in India, especially in casinos. The main rule is to bet on which hand will have a total closest to 9: the Player\“s hand, the Banker\“s hand, or a Tie.
Cards 2-9 are worth their face value. Aces count as 1, and 10s and face cards （Jack, Queen, King） are worth 0. If the total exceeds 9, only the last digit is used （e.g., 15 becomes 5）. 
A third card may be drawn based on specific rules. If either the Player or Banker has a total of 8 or 9 （a \“natural\“）, no more cards are drawn. Otherwise, the Player draws a third card if their total is 0-5. The Banker\“s decision to draw depends on the Player\“s third card.
Betting on the Banker has a slight advantage but usually incurs a 5% commission on wins. Betting on the Player pays even money. A Tie bet pays 8:1 or 9:1 but has a high house edge. |
