Baccarat has long held a reputation as the most exclusive, intimidating game on the casino floor.
+
Many beginners assume that a game favored by the elite must have incredibly complex rules and require deep strategic knowledge.
+
The massive irony is that Baccarat is actually the simplest table game in the entire casino.
+
Furthermore, Baccarat offers some of the absolute best mathematical odds available to a casino player.
+
In this article, we will completely demystify the game of Baccarat for the absolute beginner.
+Understanding the Basic Goal of the Game +
Your only job is to guess which of these two hands will end up closer to the magic number of nine.
+
They are simply two arbitrary hands of cards; you are merely placing a wager on the outcome of their duel.
+
Once bets are placed, the dealer deals exactly two cards to the Player hand and two cards to the Banker hand.
+
The total score of a hand is simply the sum of its cards; however, if the total exceeds 9, you drop the first digit.
+
Because you drop the first digit, it is mathematically impossible to "bust" or go over 9 in Baccarat.
+Why Baccarat Requires Zero Skill +
If the Player's initial total is 0 through 5, they must draw a third card; if it is 6 or 7, they stand.
+
The rules for the Banker drawing a third card are even more complicated, depending on the Banker's total AND the value of the Player's third card.
+
As a player, you make absolutely no decisions regarding drawing cards or standing.
+
You simply sit back, watch the dealer flip the cards, and wait to see if you won your bet.
+
Your only required skill is pointing at the table and placing a chip on one of the three options.
+The Mathematics of the Baccarat Bets +
The math clearly dictates that one of these bets is significantly superior to the other two.
+
If you bet on the "Player" hand and it wins, you are paid 1 to 1 (even money). The house edge on the Player bet is a very respectable 1.24%.
+
Because the Banker bet has a built-in mathematical advantage, the casino charges a 5% commission on all winning Banker bets.
+
Therefore, the absolute best, flawless Baccarat strategy is incredibly boring but mathematically perfect: Always bet on the Banker.
+
While the Tie bet offers a tempting 8 to 1 payout, the true odds of a tie occurring are roughly 9.5 to 1.

Baccarat is the ultimate paradox of the casino: it looks incredibly sophisticated but is actually the easiest game in the building.
+
Find a low-limit "Mini-Baccarat" table, place your $10 on the Banker circle, and experience the easiest game in Vegas.

Whether you play live in a [casino](https://suayna.com/profile/rubinweatherfo) or online from your couch, Baccarat is an essential experience for any gambler.
