Baccarat - Back to Table Game Reviews
Although many people do not know how to play, Baccarat is actually one of the easiest casino games to play. It has been played in various forms since the early 1800's.
The Phoenician Casino offers the most popular version of baccarat, as found in most casinos in Las Vegas. In Baccarat, cards are dealt to two hands, named Player and Banker. The object of the game is to correctly pick which hand will have the higher score. You can also place a bet on Tie, which pays 9 to 1.
To play Baccarat, you simply choose whether you want to bet on Player, Banker, Tie, or any combination of the three.
When you are finished placing your bet(s), the hands are dealt.
After the hands are dealt, if you correctly bet on the outcome, you win.
If you bet on Player and win, you win even money. A $5 wager pays back your $5, plus an additional $5.
If you bet on Banker and win, you win even money minus a 5% commission. A $5 wager pays back your $5, plus an additional $4.75.
If you bet on Tie and win, you win 9 times your wager. A $5 wager pays back your $5, plus an additional $45.
Note: The commission is 5% of the bet and is rounded up to the next quarter. For example, a minimum bet of $6 would be a commission of 50 cents. (5% of $6 = 30 cents, but since the commission is rounded up to the next 25 cents; the commission is actually 50 cents. 5% of $11 = 55 cents, which makes the actual commission 75 cents.)
