Mini Baccarat
Objective
The player’s objective in Mini Baccarat is to predict whether the player’s hand or the bank’s hand will be closer to a point score of 9. It is important to be aware that all ten-value cards count as zero and aces count as one. The hand with the highest point value wins.
Private-/Multiplayer-Table
Before the game begins you can chose between the Private and Multiplayer Table. In Mini Baccarat for multiple players, players can chat to each other during the game. Even if you are not playing yourself, you can watch the other players playing.
Rules
The player and the bank are dealt a two-card hand. Following standard baccarat rules, a third card is dealt to the player and/or the banker.
In order to take part you must bet on the banker's hand (BANKER), on the player’s hand (PLAYER) or on a tie (TIE). There is a tie when both hands have the same point score. When there is a tie the bets are returned to the bank and the player.
