Baccarat Single Playerby Genesis Gaming Inc

Just going by the name many people think Baccarat is a French game, but it actually originated in Italy and came to France in the late 1400's. It has always been an exclusive game, reserved for the aristocracy and very well-heeled. With the advent of online gaming by Cryptologic it has become accessible to every one while still maintaining its air of sophistication.

Your objective is simply to predict whether the Banker, or Player will win or if the game will be a Tie. You are predicting which hand will have a total closer to 9. Simple as. Face cards and Tens count as Zero. So a hand containing a Queen and an Eight scores 8 while a Seven and Two score nine and would win. Betting on a Tie pays 8:1, betting on Banker carries a small commission and betting on Player pays even money with no commission. This game is played from a shoe of eight, 52 card decks that are reshuffled between each game round so counting cards or running statistical models is meaningless.
