Unbeatable
Casino Games
Baccarat is a gambling
game and it is
unbeatable casino game also and it is similar to
Faro and to Basset. There are three accepted variants of
the game: baccarat chemin de fer (railway), baccarat
banque (or a deux tableaux), and punto banco (or North
American baccarat). Baccarat (pronounced Back-a-rah) is
a simple game with only three possible results -
'Player', 'Banker' and 'Tie'. The term 'Player' does not
refer to the customer and the term 'Banker' do not refer
to the house. They are just options on which the
customer can bet. Baccarat is an unusual game in that
any score of 10 is worth 0 (or 'Baccarat'). The highest
score that can be achieved is 9. Two picture cards would
have a score of 0. A 9 and a 6 would not equal 15 but 5.
(Minus the first digit) An ace counts as 1 and the rest
of the cards retain their face value.
The traditional form of baccarat is played at an oval
table, similar to the chemin de fer version. The table
is staffed by a croupier, who directs the play of the
game, and two dealers who collect and pay bets as well
as tallying commissions due. Six or eight decks of cards
are used, normally shuffled only by the croupier and
dealers. Like chemin de fer, the shoe is passed around
from player to player, who acts as the dealer of the
cards and as "banker," but he or she does not actually
bank the game. Indeed, the banker may bet on the player
hand if he or she wishes, or may pass the shoe along to
another player the role of the "banker" is merely
ceremonial.
How are unbeatable casinos games?
The person who bets the highest amount on the player
hand is given the player-hand cards, though he or she
simply turns the cards over, announcing their total. The
croupier instructs the banker on if or when to deal
third cards, and then announces the winning hand.
Despite its simplicity the baccarat offers some of the
lowest house advantage available in casino. Because of
its attraction for wealthy players, a casino may win or
lose millions of dollars a night on the game, and the
house's fortunes may even affect the bottom line of a
corporation's quarterly profit and loss notations of the
effects of major baccarat wins and losses are frequent
in the quarterly reports of publicly-traded gaming
companies. The single dealer handles the entire game,
including dealing the cards. Betting minimums and
maximums are usually lower.
