How are baccarat cards counted?
Aces count as one, cards two through nine keep their value, and tens plus face cards count as zero. Only the final digit of a total matters, so 15 becomes five.
Baccarat Rules for Beginners
A concise beginner guide to baccarat card values, Banker vs Player, the automatic third-card rule and the bets to understand before opening a live table.
What are the basic baccarat rules for beginners?
Choose Player, Banker or Tie before the cards are dealt. The hand closest to nine wins; tens and face cards count as zero, aces count as one, and other cards keep their number value. The third-card rule is automatic.
What this guide covers
This beginner guide explains how baccarat works, how Banker and Player hands are scored, why the third-card rule is automatic and why the Tie bet has a different risk profile.

Key questions and answers
Use the sections below to find the relevant answer without reading unrelated tournament pages.
Banker vs Player: which hand am I choosing?
Banker and Player are labels for the two hands, not the people at the table. You choose which hand will finish closer to nine before the deal begins.
Do I decide whether to draw a third card?
No. Baccarat follows a fixed third-card table. The dealer or software applies it automatically after the first two cards are shown.
What are the baccarat Tie rules?
A Tie wins when Banker and Player finish with the same total. It can offer a larger payout, but it occurs less often and usually carries a higher house edge. Read the table rules and payout panel first.
