Baccarat is one of the more popular gambling games played in casinos or gaming establishments. As is well known, the game is played on an elongated table having a game board displayed along the upper surface of the table. The game board displays certain wagering areas, and the elongated table allows for the seating of multiple players or bettors (1-16) and the positioning of the multiple dealers (3) necessary for operating the casino game. Bettor locations are typically numbered on the table and each bettor location has an area designated for a wager on the bank hand and an area designated for a wager on the player hand. Baccarat uses a standard deck of 52 playing cards and is usually dealt from a shoe having multiple decks that have been shuffled together prior to the beginning of play.
The object of the game of baccarat is for the bettor to successfully wager on whether the bank’s hand or the player’s hand is going to win. The bettor receives even money for his wager if he selects the winning hand and loses his wager if he selects the losing hand. Because of the rules of play of baccarat, the bank’s hand has a slightly higher chance of winning than does the player’s hand. Therefore, if the bettor wagers on the bank’s hand, the bettor is required to pay to the gaming establishment a commission (typically 5%) of the amount the bettor wins. No commission is paid if the bettor successfully wagers on the player’s hand.
As disclosed in this specification, the term “conventional manner of play of baccarat” is as follows:
A multiple number of decks of standard playing cards, 52 in number, are used; typically six to twelve decks are shuffled together and placed in a shoe from which the cards are dealt during the play of the game.
Each bettor makes a wager on whether the bank’s hand or the player’s hand will win. After all, wagers are made, two cards are dealt from the shoe to the bank position and two cards are dealt from the shoe to the player’s position on the table layout. The cards are turned face up and the value of the bank hand and the player hand is determined.
Aces count as one; kings, queens, jacks, and tens count as zero, and the other cards count as their respective face value. The suits (hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs) have no meaning in baccarat. The highest hand value in baccarat is nine. All hand values range from a low of zero to a high of nine. If when the cards are added together, the total of the hand exceeds nine, then the hand value is determined by subtracting ten from the total of the hand. For example, a seven and nine total sixteen, but the hand value is six. An Ace and a nine total ten, but the hand value is zero.
