Baccarat has long held a reputation as the most exclusive, intimidating game on the casino floor.
+
Because of this glamorous reputation, the average casino player often feels too intimidated to even approach a Baccarat table.
+
The massive irony is that Baccarat is actually the simplest table game in the entire [casino](https://kidstv.freearnings.com/@mlyeverett9260?page=about).
+
Furthermore, Baccarat offers some of the absolute best mathematical odds available to a casino player.
+
We will guide you through your first hand so you can confidently approach the table like a seasoned high roller.
+How the Cards are Scored in Baccarat +
The entire premise of Baccarat is to bet on which of two hands will have a total score closest to the number 9.
+
They are simply two arbitrary hands of cards; you are merely placing a wager on the outcome of their duel.
+
The scoring system is very specific: cards 2 through 9 are worth their face value, and Aces are worth 1 point.
+
The total score of a hand is simply the sum of its cards; however, if the total exceeds 9, you drop the first digit.
+
The highest possible score is a perfect 9, and the lowest possible score is a 0 (e.g., a hand of two Queens).
+The Dealer Does All the Work +
The rules governing whether a third card is drawn are incredibly complex, based on a rigid mathematical matrix.
+
The rules for the Banker drawing a third card are even more complicated, depending on the Banker's total AND the value of the Player's third card.
+
As a player, you make absolutely no decisions regarding drawing cards or standing.
+
You simply sit back, watch the dealer flip the cards, and wait to see if you won your bet.
+
Therefore, you can ignore the complex drawing charts completely and simply enjoy the fast-paced action of the game.
+The Only Strategy: Always Bet on the Banker +
To do this, we must look at the house edge associated with each of the three possible wagers: Player, Banker, and Tie.
+
However, because of the complex third-card rules, the "Banker" hand is mathematically designed to win slightly more often than the Player hand.
+
Even with this 5% tax, the Banker bet still carries the lowest house edge in the entire game: an incredibly low 1.06%.
+
Therefore, the absolute best, flawless Baccarat strategy is incredibly boring but mathematically perfect: Always bet on the Banker.
+
Finally, you must avoid the "Tie" bet at all costs; it is famously one of the worst sucker bets in the entire casino.
+The Baccarat Cheat Sheet + +Scoring: Add the cards together and drop the first digit (e.g., 8 + 7 = 15. The score is 5). +The Banker Bet: Pays 1 to 1, minus a 5% casino commission.

Do not let the high limits or the James Bond aesthetic intimidate you from enjoying this fantastic game.
+
Find a low-limit "Mini-Baccarat" table, place your $10 on the Banker circle, and experience the easiest game in Vegas.
+
Whether you play live in a casino or online from your couch, Baccarat is an essential experience for any gambler.
