Before playing the game all the players have to place their bets. Traditionally players use chips to place their bets. The chips are stacked by denomination (, , , 0, 0) at the bottom of the game window. To choose a chip of a necessary amount you have to click left mouse button on this chip. To place the chip on the Baccarat table you have to click on a bet field. To increase your wager place one chip on the table and then one more. You can place as many chips as you have available without exceeding the maximum limit. If you sum the value of all your chips you will get your wager amount. If you want to withdraw the bet you have already made you have to click right mouse button. ‘Bet’ section displays you bet amount. Your bet amount can be equal to the minimum bet or higher. If your bet is under the minimum bet amount it will be automatically increased to the minimum limit. When the bet is made click on the ‘Deal’ or ‘Pass’ button to start. The banker and the player hands will receive 2 cards each. Cards have different value. Face cards and tens are valued as 0. Aces are valued at 1. Numbered cards except tens are worth their face value. The total of the hand is the sum of the value of all cards in the hand. If the total value of the hand exceeds 9 then you have to subtract 10 from this total. If you have 8 and 7 (8+7=15 -10=5) the total of your hand is 5. When the first cards are dealt to the player and to the banker they can draw one more card. The player doesn’t ask for a third card. All additional cards are subject to a "Third Card Rule". Neither the banker nor the player can be dealt more than three cards. When two or three cards are dealt the banker’s and the dealer’s total are compared. If the banker’s and the player’s total are equal the hand is called a tie. In the case of tie neither the banker nor the player loses or wins. The total 8 or 9 is called “natural 9”. In the case of a “natural” hand after receiving first two cards no more cards shall be dealt either to the banker or tot the player. If the value of the cards in the Banker's hand on the first two cards is 0 to 7 inclusive, the Player's hand shall draw in accordance with the "Third Card Rules".
Early Baccarat stories claim that the game is based on an old Etruscan ritual of the nine gods, who prayed to a blonde virgin on their tiptoes waiting for her to throw a nine-sided die. The result of the die decided her fate. If an eight or a nine was thrown, she would become the priestess. If 6 or 7 was rolled the virgin was prohibited from any further religious activities. If any other number was rolled she could walk into the sea.
