Baccarat is a classic card game where players bet on whether the banker or the player will win. It is one of the most popular card games in the world, and it is especially favored by Swedish casino players. According to the official rules, the number of players can range from one up to 12 players, and the game can last from one to several rounds. In order to play, each player is required to place their bet before the cards are dealt.
Once the bet has been placed, the dealer will deal two cards, one for the player and one for the banker. The cards’ values are added up, and the hand with a value closest to nine wins.
If either the player or the banker has a total value of eight or nine, the hand is over and the other player is not dealt any cards.
If the player or the banker has a total value of six or seven, then the value will stand and no more cards are dealt.
If the player or the banker has a value of five or less, then they are dealt another card.
