Baccarat


The objective is to wager on the hand closest to a total of 9. You may wager on either the Banker hand or the Player hand, or on a Tie bet.

There are three betting options a player may wager on: Player hand, Banker hand or Tie bet.

Card values: the Player and Banker are dealt two cards each. All tens and picture cards equal zero. The Ace's equals to 1. All other cards count as their face value. If the value of cards exceed 9, then the hand value is adjusted by subtracting 10 from the total. Example: 

9+7=16 Hand counts 6
5+5+5=15 Hand counts 5
10+9=19 Hand is a "natural" 9
King+Ace+5 Hand counts 6

When the Player and Banker hands are the same total, the hand is a Tie. Third Card Draw: a third additional card may be dealt automatically, according to the third card rules. No hand will receive more than three cards. Third Card Draw: a third additional card may be dealt automatically, according to the third card rules. No hand will receive more than three cards.

Winning Banker hand wagers are paid 1 to 1 but the player must pay a 5% commission to the house.
Example: if you bet $5 on the Banker hand, and the Banker hand was closer to 9 than the Player hand, you will get your $5 back plus another $4.75 ($5 minus $0.25).

Winning Tie bet wagers are paid at 8 to 1.

Open Blackjack


Before any cards are dealt, the player must wager. He does this by placing his bet in the designated space in front of his table position. The dealer then deals two cards to each of the players, and two to himself (one of the dealer's cards is dealt face up and one is dealt facing down). Face cards (kings, queens and jacks) count as 10, ace counts as one or 11 (as the player chooses) and all other cards are counted at their face value.
