XPG Live Baccarat

Baccarat is a card game with worldwide popularity. In baccarat, players compare their hand to the banker's hand, betting on whether the player's or banker's hand will have the highest value. It is also possible to bet on the two hands resulting in a tie. Most of the time, ties pay out at 8:1, though some casinos offer 9:1 odds. In baccarat, each card has a point value; twos through nines are worth their face value, tens and royals have no point value, and aces are worth a single point. Each hand's value is determined by the rightmost digit of the sum of the hand's cards. The traditional baccarat game is played with an eight-deck shoe and Banker wins are paid out 0.95:1. If either the player or banker is dealt a total of eight or nine then both hands stand. If the player's total is five or less then they receive another card before standing. If the player stands then the banker hits once on a total of five or less.
