What are the rules for playing baccarat?

[Samuel Hunt]

Hey! I’ve recently started playing baccarat at an online casino and I’m still a bit confused about the rules. I know the goal is to get as close to 9 as possible, but I’m unsure about how the cards are dealt and what happens when both sides have the same score. Also, when should I bet on the player or banker? I’ve been playing on a site like FreshBet and it’s fun, but I want to make sure I’m playing correctly. Any advice?

Hey! The rules are pretty simple once you get the hang of them. Basically, both the player and banker are dealt two cards, and the goal is to have a hand value closest to 9. If the hand total is over 9, the second digit is the value (so 15 would be 5). When there’s a tie, it’s a separate bet, but you’re typically betting on the player or banker. If you’re playing on FreshBet, you can find more detailed rules there at https://freshbetcasino.com, especially about when the third card is drawn. It’s a fun game once you get comfortable with it!

I’ve played baccarat a few times, and it’s really easy to understand once you get the basics. The main goal is to get as close to 9 as possible, but I’ve also noticed that the banker bet tends to win more often. It’s all about finding what works for you and enjoying the game.
