Foxwoods Casino Baccarat

Players place a wager on which of two hands (the "Player" or the "Banker") will have a total point value closest to 9. Each hand receives at least two cards but no more than three. Baccarat begins when the shoe (containing eight decks of cards) is passed to the first player. The first and third cards dealt from the shoe constitute the "Player's" hand, and the second and fourth cards constitute the "Banker's" hand.

Face cards and 10s count as 0, aces count as 1, and all other cards count at face value. If required, a third card is dealt to each hand according to specific rules outlined in the chart. If the point value of the first two cards drawn for either hand is 8 or 9, that is known as a "natural" and no additional cards will be drawn. The hand with the highest point total closest to nine wins. Winning bets are paid even money. However, a winning "Banker" bet pays a 5 percent commission, which may be paid at any time during the game. If both hands result in identical totals, the "Tie" bet wins, paying 8 to 1. When a "Tie" occurs, all bets on the "Player" and the "Banker" are neither paid nor taken.

BACCARAT TERMINOLOGY
K, Q, J, 10 = 0
Ace = 1
All other cards = face value.

EXAMPLES:
Jack + Ace = 1
9 + 5 = 4
(Note: 9 plus 5 equals 4 because only the last digit of the total number counts.)
