How to Play Baccarat at Ohplay

Discover the elegance of Baccarat, a timeless game that originated in Italy in the 15th century. At Ohplay, we make it easy for you to enjoy this classic casino favorite.

The Basics of Baccarat:

Baccarat is an ancient card game, believed to have roots in Italy around 1400. It's often called Punto Banco and is played with 4-8 decks of cards from a shoe. The name "Baccarat" comes from the Italian word for zero, as certain cards have a value of zero.

How to Play:

1. Betting Options: Place your bet on either the Banker, Player, or a Tie.

2. Dealing Cards: The dealer uses 6-8 decks, giving two cards each to the Banker and Player. Face cards are zero, aces are one, and others retain their face value. If the total is over nine, drop the first digit.

3. Rules:

   - Both stand if Player/Banker has 8 or 9.

   - Player gets an extra card if their total is 5 or less.

   - If Player stands, Banker hits on 5 or less.

   - Predict correctly for a profit, with a tie paying 8-1.

Payouts and Odds:

Understanding payouts is vital. A winning Banker or Player hand pays 1-1 (minus a 5% commission), while a Tie pays 8-1.
