The game is played using 8 decks of cards, re-shuffled after each round. The player and the banker are each dealt a two-card hand. Following standard baccarat rules, a third card is dealt to the player and/or the banker.

The card values are as follows:

Ace = 1
Face cards and tens = 0

All other cards carry the point value stated on the card. If the cards in a hand total more than ten points, simply subtract ten to obtain the baccarat point value of the hand.
Example: 8+8=16, but counts as 6. Jack+7=17, but counts as 7.

A two-card total of nine is the best hand and is called a Natural 9. The second-best hand is a Natural 8.
If both the player and banker are dealt identical hands, the game ends in a Tie.

Third Card Rules
The following standard rules determine when the player and/or the banker will automatically be dealt a third card.
If anyone is dealt a Natural the game ends and no third card is dealt to anyone.

Player:

Banker:
Third card rules.

*If, however, the player does not draw a 3rd card the Banker draws to 7, unless the player has a Natural 8 or 9, in which case no further cards a drawn.
