BACCARAT
LET’S PLAY
BACCARAT
Long considered the most glitzy of
casino table games, people often
associate Baccarat with huge bets
and even more complex rules.
In reality, the version played at
Casino Canberra is an extremely
simple and fun game of luck.
But it’s still just as glitzy!
Mini Baccarat is played with 8
standard decks shuffled together.
Numbered cards are worth their
indicated value, Aces equal 1, and
picture cards (King, Queen and Jack)
count as zero.
THE GOAL
In Baccarat, you are betting whether the Banker or Player
will have a hand worth closer to 9, or that the hand will
be a tie. Just choose a side and see what happens!
HOW TO PLAY
◊◊
To begin, simply place a bet on Banker, Player or
Tie based on your predicted outcome. Banker and
Player are just placeholder names for the hands.
There is no actual ‘player’ who gets the cards.
◊◊
After placing your bets, two cards are dealt by the
Dealer to each hand. The first and third card are
the Player’s, the second and fourth are the Banker’s.
◊◊
The Dealer will read out the value of each hand,
with only the right hand digit being counted.
––For example:
––8 + 5 = 3
––King (0) + 6 = 6
◊◊
Based on the hands, any additional cards required are
drawn by the Dealer according to the Table of Play
(tableau) overleaf.
It’s not necessary to fully memorise the tableau
in order to take part in the game, but it will help
you to better understand what’s going on.
WINNING
◊◊
If the hand you bet on finishes closer to 9, you win!
◊◊
Winning bets are paid even money, except where
the Banker’s hand wins with a total of 6. In this case,
winning bets will be paid half.
◊◊
On our high limit tables, the casino retains a 5%
commission on winning banker bets.
◊◊
Successful Tie bets are paid at 8 to 1.
Canberra Pairs
◊◊
Canberra Pairs is an optional side bet that the first
two cards of either the Banker or Player will be a pair.
Winning bets are paid 11 to 1. All other combinations lose.
