For many years, baccarat was considered a game reserved strictly for the wealthiest VIPs and aristocrats.

However, modern online casinos have made this incredibly simple game accessible to absolutely everyone.

The Objective of the Game

The goal is simply to bet on which hand will have a total point value closest to nine.

If the total exceeds nine, the first digit is dropped (for example, a 7 and an 8 equals 15, which becomes 5).

• You can bet on the 'Banker' hand even if you are the player
• The Tie bet pays out big but has terrible mathematical odds
• It is one of the easiest games to learn on the casino floor

The Best Baccarat Betting Approach

The mathematical approach to this game is completely focused on the house edge of the three available bets.

The Banker hand has a minor built-in advantage due to the drawing rules, making it the mathematically superior wager.

Avoid betting on a tie at all costs; the 8-to-1 payout is a trap designed to drain your bankroll quickly.
