How to Play Baccarat (multi-player)
Betting: Your chips are stacked by denomination ($1,
$5, $25, $100, $500) at the bottom of the game
window. Select the amount you would like to wager
on a given hand by clicking the left mouse button
on the chip of that denomination. This activates
that specific chip denomination. Next, place your
bet on the Baccarat table by clicking on a bet
field. To specify a bet that is not equal to an
existing chip denomination, simply click on
another chip denomination after placing your
previous chip on the table. For example, to bet
$30, click on the $25 chip and place it on the
table then click on the $5 chip and place it on
top of the $25 chip. By clicking on the right
mouse button you will withdraw your entire wager.
Your total bet will be displayed in the
"Bet" just below "User". You may repeat your last
bet by clicking on the ReBet button or by simply
hitting the "0" button of your numeric keyboard.
Other keyboard shortcuts are summarized below. If
you place a wager that is lower than the minimum
table bet limit, your bet amount will be
automatically adjusted to the minimum bet amount.
Multi-Player Baccarat: In the
multi-player version of Baccarat, each table can
accommodate five players and the dealer. You may
change your position on the table by clicking on
the desired spot between hands. Each player begins
a hand by placing a bet on the Baccarat table. You
may place a bet when the "Deal" button,
"Pass"
button and betting chips are placed in front of
your seat.
There are three types of bets a
player may wager on - the Player's hand (click on
the first circle from the end of the table to
place the wager), the Banker's hand (click on the
second circle from the end of the table to place
the wager), or the Tie bet (click on the number
above the second circle to place the wager). A
combination of these bets can also be made. Place
your wagered amount by clicking with the left
mouse button on the Baccarat table field you would
like to bet (Player, Banker, Tie).
Once
you have placed a bet on the table, you may choose
to skip the given deal (before your first card is
dealt) by clicking on the "Pass" button or to
proceed with the bet by pressing "Deal". If you do
not bet or pass within 15 seconds from the
beginning of your turn, you will be automatically
excluded from that particular hand. Note that if
you join a table in the middle of a hand, you must
wait until the round is over and after that you
will be able to bet on the next hand.
After each player has pressed either the
"Deal" or "Pass" button, the Player and Banker are
dealt two cards. All tens and picture cards are
worth zero, aces are worth 1, and all other cards
are worth their face value. If the value of cards
exceeds 9, then the value is adjusted by
subtracting 10 from the total.
Example:
| Hand |
Hand
Total |
| 9+7=16 |
6 |
| 5+5+5=15 |
5 |
| 10+9=19 |
"Natural"
9 |
After the first
two cards are dealt to both the Player and Banker,
a third additional card may be dealt but the
player does not ask for a third card. All
additional cards are subject to a "Third Card
Rule". No hand receives more than three cards.
When the Player and Banker hands equal the same
total, the hand is declared a Tie. If the value of
the cards in either the Player's Hand or the
Banker's Hand is an 8 or a 9 (a "natural") after
receiving their initial two cards then no more
cards shall be dealt to either hand. If the value
of the cards in the Banker's Hand on the first two
cards is 0 to 7 inclusive, the Player's hand shall
draw in accordance with the "Third Card Rules".
Third Card Rules:
If
the Player's two cards total:
| Player's
Hand |
Draw? |
| 0-5 |
Player's hand must draw |
| 6-7 |
Player's hand must
stand |
| 8-9 |
"Natural"
(both hands stand) |
After the
Player's Hand acts on a third card draw, the
Banker's Hand receives a third card according to
these rules:
| Banker's
Hand |
Draw? |
| 0-2 |
Banker's hand must draw |
| 3-6 |
Third card to Player's hand
determines draw or stand |
| 7 |
Banker's hand must
stand |
When the
Banker's two cards total between 3-6:

a Banker hand totalling 6 must stand.
