The main aim within the game of Baccarat is to guess whether the banker's hand or the player's hand will have points valuing closest to 9. The hand with the highest point value is the winner.

To wager in baccarat users must, place a bet on the player's hand, banker's hand or on a tie. A tie is when both hands have equal point values. If the outcome of the game ends in a tie, bets on the banker and player neither win nor lose and the bets are given back to the recipients.

Mini Baccarat is an extremely simple game. You decide on how much to bet, and whether you want to place your money on you winning, the banker winning or a tie. The game then starts with four cards being dealt - two for you and two for the banker. If either side's cards total 8 or 9, they're said to be a 'natural' and no further cards are dealt to either side. Otherwise, each side may or may not have to draw a further card depending on their total. The winning hand is the one with a point total closest to 9. When both hands have equal totals, a 'tie' is declared.

To count a hand, 10s and face cards are worth zero and other cards their face value. But because a Baccarat Hand can only total 0 - 9, only the last digit of the actual total is used. If the player's hand totals 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, he or she draws another card. The dealer's decision is governed by rules that are slightly more complicated.

If you are interested in statistics, all the Online Casinos that we feature expert Casino display a list of previous winners somewhere on the screen. The banker' hand is indicated by the letter 'B', the player's hand is indicated by the letter 'P' and a tie is indicated by a dash. Consecutive wins by either the banker or the player are displayed in the same column. A new column is displayed when the banker or player starts a new winning streak. A tie is considered part of the same winning streak and is always displayed in the same column as the previous winner.
