Online Baccarat is even more popular than before for apparent reasons. Unlike other card games where you wager after you receive some cards, in Baccarat you place your bet before your cards are even dealt and not during game-play. Amazing, isn't it?

In the game of Baccarat, there are two hands dealt - one is termed the "banker" hand and the other is the "player" hand. Each hand holds either two or three cards. The winning hand is determined by checking to see which hand has a value that is closest to 9. The objective of Baccarat is to predict whether the banker's hand or the player's hand will be closest to 9. Tens and face cards count as zero while aces count as one. The hand with the highest point value wins

The dealer handles the draw of cards according to specific rules. The player has no choice or decisions to make during the game. But the player must make two decisions before each hand is dealt, first, the selection of the position they believe will win the next hand, and secondly, determining the amount of the wager.

The House then banks all bets, and collects or makes payouts on each hand that is dealt. But one should be well familiar with the rules to gain maximum from the game.

However, it is a good idea to be familiar with the rules, as it will heighten the enjoyment of the game. It is very exciting to anticipate the turn of a card. Overall, Baccarat is one of the best and most exciting games for the bettor.
