General Rules
- Each hand consist of 2 (two) cards to start with a maximum of 3 (three) cards dealt.No hand receives more than 3 (three) cards
- Tens & Face cards (jacks, queens, kings) are worth a zero count. All other cards (2-9) are worth their face value
- Aces are worth 1 (one) point.
- The value of 9 (nine) is the best total. If a players cards total more than 9 (nine), the card values are added up and only the right hand digit is counted. For example – if a player is holding a 7 and a 8 the total value is 15, but the hand value is counted as 5.
- A hand that totals a zero (for example a 3, 7 and 10) is considered a Baccarat.
- When “Punto” and “Banco” hands are equal, a ‘tie’ or ‘stand-off’ is declared.
