How to Play and Win at Baccarat - Under 4 Minutes

To truly experience all that Las Vegas has to offer, in addition to the amazing shows, award-winning restaurants, and top-notch entertainment venues, you need to follow the steps to learn how to play and win at Baccarat like an expert.

If you want to play a table game in a Las Vegas casino that has nothing tricky and lets you gamble like James Bond, Baccarat is the game for you. With three possible outcomes - Player wins, Banker wins, and a tie - the dealer literally does all the work.

As Jeff Civillico explains in the video clip below, players place bets on either the Player side, the "Banker" (aka the Dealer) side, or the Draw side. Cards 2-9 have value, while 10s, Jacks, Queens, and overlords are worth zero. Aces are worth 1.

Jeff Civillico: Hi, I'm Jeff Civillico, headliner at Paris Hotel & Casino.

What exactly is Baccarat? You might be wondering, it's not that easy. You've probably seen James Bond playing baccarat in the cinema. You might not understand what's going on because the dealer speaks French.

It's actually very easy!

How to bet on baccarat

First of all, the bet.

You can make a bet on either the player's side or the banker's side.

Unlike blackjack and many other table games, here the dealer prepares everything.

Your main job is to get as close as possible to 9.

Cards from 2 to 9 have the same value...

... 10, Jack, Queen and Ruler are 0.... Ace is 1.

I'm going to side with the player and make a perfect test. The player's hand and the banker's hand. So...

How to win at baccarat

... The player's hand is 7 and a woman. If you remember, the queen contains the meaning of 0, so the player's hand is 7.

The banker's hand is 2 and 4, which add up to 6. So effectively the player wins 7 to 6 against the banker.

So everyone who has a player doubles their money! That's it!

Better luck next time.

So now it's all simple. You bet 200 euros, you win 200 euros.

(player hand pays even money)

(banker hand pays 95% - casino takes 5% commission)

We also have a handy score sheet that allows you to keep track of the game so that you don't lose focus. In addition, it is very useful to write words of love or draw pictures for the dealer. Let's try and see if this helps.

Feeling pretty good after this big win, let's double the bet and go back to the players who stick to what worked. It seems that some people are stuck with the bank, so the third option is a draw game. Let's see what happens.

Okay, let's discuss.

Bear of Baccarat

So, on the side of the players 9 and 7, we make them up and get 16... It should be noted that in Baccaram, if the numbers are folded over 9, the first number is discarded, so it turns out 16, we discard 1 and it turns out 6.

On the side of the banker 8 and 8, we also discard 16, we discard 1 to get 6.

Congratulations! You win by drawing!

This win is really paid on a draw of 8 to 1.

Rules of Baccarat

If you want to be a pro at Baccarat, there's a little bit more you need to know. I'll tell you right now, Dana.

Dana: The player shows a 7, and the player always stays on 6, 7, 8, 9. And bank 4. So when the player doesn't take a card, the bank always goes from 0 to 5.

How to play Baccarat in Las Vegas

The dealer deals the cards face down, and the player with the total of 2 players and 1 banker closest to 9 wins. If you put a player in your hand and that player had the amount closest to 9, you just double your win.

If you put the banker in your hand and she wins, 95% of your bet is paid. When you have 9 or more cards, you must fold 2 and discard 1 (or 2) to get value.

A split of the sum of 9 and 7 gives you 16, and if you discard the first number, your game value is 6.

A few more rules for becoming an ace in the Baccarat game:

• If either the Player or the Banker gets a sum of 8 or 9, the Player and Banker stand up.
• If the Player's sum is 5 or less, the Player receives one more card. Otherwise, the Player stands up.
• If the Player stands up, the Banker hits if the sum is 5 or less.
• The last BET option, a draw, pays 8 to 1.
