Baccarat is an easy card game to play. Its simplicity makes it one of the most popular games at the Stake.com casino.

In this article, you can learn how to play Stake.com Baccarat.

Simply put, you play by placing a bet on whether you think the player or the banker will get a score close to (but not higher than) nine.

Alternatively, you may want to bet on the draw as well – a quite possible outcome.

Payouts

Payouts for player and banker at both set at 2x. Payouts for the tie are 8.

Card Value

In Baccarat, face cards (jack, queen, king) and tens are all worth zero.

Aces are worth one.

Baccarat Rules

Two cards are dealt to both the player and the banker, which concludes the first round of dealing.

If you are dealt two cards that add up to more than 10, the second digit becomes the value of your hand.

Examples:

7 + 7 = 14 (displayed as 4)
9 + 10 = 19 (displayed as 9)

In Baccarat, hands have a minimum of two cards per player, with a maximum of three.

After the first round of dealing, the next step is to determine if there will be any third cards drawn.

The second round of dealing, if it is needed, determines whether the player needs a third card.

The Banker’s third card commences the third and final round of dealing.

Once all the cards are dealt, the winning hand is then calculated. That being, the hand that is closest to 9.

A tie, where neither hand wins or loses, is called a push. This means both the player and the banker get their wages back.

Squeeze

The Squeeze feature goes back quite some time, and is based around superstition. Stake.com have the optional squeeze feature which tries to replicate the atmosphere and experience of being in a real casino.

It is a way of being able to take a slight look at your cards, revealing them in the most subtle way possible. It creates tension and a sense of nervousness around the table. The card’s number is always carefully covered by a finger.

The Squeeze derives from Chinese gamblers, who actually believe they can change the value of the card by the way they squeeze it.

Nevertheless, it is a popular feature that replicates the real casino experience on your device.
