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.

How to Win at Baccarat

The objective is to accurately predict whether the Player or the Banker will score 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

Basic Strategy for Beginners

Since the game plays itself, your only strategic choice is deciding where to place your chips.

Always bet on the Banker; even with the standard 5% commission taken on wins, it remains the best bet.

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