The simplest and quickest game to learn to play in all any casinos.

Rules & Bonuses
Each side will be dealt two to third three cards determined by game’s hitting rules. The side getting closest to 9 points wins. The values of cards are determined as follows: Ace through 9 hold their face value (1 to 9). 10 through K are cards with zero value (0). When the sum adds up to more than 10, the first digit is ignored – for instance, a 7 and a 5 would total 2 (not 12).
We offer two variations of Baccarat. The main difference between the two games is the Bonus structure.
Optional side bets EZ Baccarat – Tie pays 9 to 1 when both sides hold the same total value. Dragon 7 pays 40 to 1 when Banker side wins with 3 cards totaling 7. Panda 8 pays 25 to 1 when Player side wins with 3 cards totaling 8.
Optional side bets for 21st Century Baccarat – The Tie still pays 9 to 1 but players also have an optional Dragon bet that’s based on a points spread. Please ask the floor staff for details.
