Game Information
The aim of First Person Baccarat is to accurately predict which hand will be closest to a total of nine, whether that be yours or the Banker's.
You are able to place bets on either hands or on a tie.
This game uses eight standard 52-card decks, as you can find in some of our online Blackjack games.
How to Play
Once you and the Banker have received your first two cards, the Third Card Rule decides whether a third card should be dealt to the hands.
No more than three cards can be dealt to a hand.
If your hand is equal to the Banker's hand, a tie is declared and all bets for that game are made void, with the exception of tie bets.
If the value of your initial hand or the Banker's is an eight or nine (a "natural"), then no more cards will be dealt to either hands.
Should either hand's first two cards equal zero to seven, in line with the Third Card Rule the hands shall draw.
Third Card Rule
If your two cards total:
- 0-5 - your hand must draw
- 6-7 - your hand must stand
- 8-9 - "Natural" (Both hands stand)
If the banker's two cards total:
- 0-2 - banker's hand must draw
- 3-6 - the third card dealt to your hand determines draw or stand
- 7 - banker's hand must stand
- 8-9 - "Natural" (Both hands stand)
When the banker's third card decision depends on the third card drawn by you, the following rules will take effect:
Banker's Hand | Banker Draws When Your Hand Equals: | Banker Does Not Draw When Your Hand Equals: |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 0 | 8 |
| 4 | 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 | 1, 8, 9, 0 |
| 5 | 4, 5, 6, 7 | 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 0 |
| 6 | 6, 7 | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 0 |
| 7 | Banker's hand must stand | Banker's hand must stand |
| 8, 9 "Natural" | Banker stands natural | Banker stands |
If your hand stands on two cards (6,7), then a two-card banker hand equal to three, four or five must draw.
A banker hand equal to six is required to stand.
