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.

Cards two through nine are worth their numerical value, aces are one, and face cards count as zero.

• 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

Because you cannot influence the cards, strategy in baccarat revolves entirely around which bet you choose.

Statistically, the Banker bet wins slightly more often than the Player bet, making it the safest option.

Stick exclusively to the Banker or Player bets to ensure your budget lasts as long as possible.
