Baccarat Explained: How the Game Works

Baccarat is a card game where you don’t need to make any decisions — except placing your bet, of course. Its simplicity is what makes it so popular among beginner casino players. Baccarat is played between one player (punto) and the dealer (banco). The dealer — or the computer in online baccarat — deals the cards, makes all the decisions, and handles payouts.

Baccarat Rules: How to Play and Win

The rules of baccarat are simple. There are only two hands in play: punto (player) and banco (banker). Each receives two or sometimes three cards. The number of cards dealt is determined automatically by the game’s rules — you don’t draw cards yourself like in blackjack.

Each card has a specific value. The Ace is worth 1 point, cards from two to nine carry their face value, and tens and face cards are worth 0 points.

The hand closest to a value of 9 wins. But just because the banco hand wins doesn’t mean you can’t make a profit. Read on under ‘How Do You Place Bets?" to discover how to win when playing baccarat.

Baccarat Scoring: How to Count Your Points

In online baccarat, the scoring works in a special way. You add up the values of all your cards, but tens don’t count. For example, if you have a 7 and a 5, the total would be 12, but since tens don’t count, your score is 2. Here are some additional examples:

How Do You Place Bets?

Online baccarat has three possible outcomes: the player (punto) wins, the banker (banco) wins, or it’s a tie (égalité). When you place a bet, you’re wagering on one of these three outcomes. So just because the banker wins, it doesn’t mean you lose your bet.

You place your bets before the cards are dealt. So, you have no information and it’s a pure gamble.

Payout ratios vary depending on the provider. In our Evolution First Person Baccarat, for example, you get 1:1 when punto wins, 8:1 for a tie, and 0.95:1 when banco wins (winning on banco usually pays 1:1, but a 5% commission is charged).

Step-by-Step Online Baccarat Game Process

After bets are placed, the dealer deals the cards from a shoe containing usually six or eight decks, depending on the variant you’re playing. Some online versions, like mini-baccarat, use a different number of decks. The first card goes to punto (player), the second to banco (banker), the third again to punto, and the fourth to banco.

Does either hand have an immediate value of 8 or 9? Then that hand wins. If one hand has 8 and the other 9, the hand with 9 wins.

More Baccarat Examples:

If neither player has a score of 8 or 9, the game continues with punto. If punto has a score of 0 to 5, they receive an additional card. If the score is 6 or 7, the player stands with two cards.

Then it’s banco’s turn again. The actions of banco depend on what happened with punto.

If punto didn’t receive an extra card, the same rules apply to banco: an extra card is drawn when the score is between 0 and 5, and no extra card if the score is 6 or 7.

If punto did receive an extra card, different rules apply for banco:

Once banco has played, the final score is known. The player closest to 9 wins. If both players have the same score, the result is a tie, or égalité.

Top Baccarat Tips and Winning Strategies

Baccarat is essentially not a strategic casino game. It’s purely a game of luck. However, some popular strategies exist to help maximize your winnings. Most baccarat enthusiasts use the Martingale, Paroli, or Fibonacci strategies.

How the Martingale Strategy Works in Baccarat

When playing online baccarat with the Martingale strategy, you double your bet after each loss. When you win, you return to your original bet. This way, you try to recover your losses. However, keep in mind the maximum bet limits. You can’t apply this strategy indefinitely if you keep losing. Remember to stop in time and play responsibly.

How the Paroli Strategy Works in Baccarat

This strategy does the exact opposite of the Martingale strategy. You double your bet after a win instead of after a loss. The goal is to make a lot of profit in a short time. Just be sure to stop doubling once you’re satisfied with your winnings.

How the Fibonacci Strategy Works in Baccarat

This strategy is based on the well-known Fibonacci mathematical sequence. It is a series of numbers where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, starting like this: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, … When applying this strategy to baccarat, you increase your bet to the next number in the sequence after a loss. After a win, you move two numbers back.
