How it works
How a round of Baccarat Squeeze works
One round
-
Bet Back Player, Banker or Tie, plus any side bets, while the timer runs.
-
The deal Two cards each to Player and Banker; the totals count only the last digit.
-
Third cards Fixed rules decide whether either hand draws a third card.
-
Settlement The total closest to 9 wins.
When the third card is drawn
Nobody makes a decision in baccarat: these fixed rules decide every third card. A total of 8 or 9 on the first two cards is a natural and ends the hand.
| Hand | Total | Draws a third card when |
|---|---|---|
| Player | 0–5 | Always |
| Player | 6–7 | Never (stands) |
| Banker | 0–2 | Always |
| Banker | 3 | Player's third card is anything but 8 |
| Banker | 4 | Player's third card is 2–7 |
| Banker | 5 | Player's third card is 4–7 |
| Banker | 6 | Player's third card is 6 or 7 |
| Banker | 7 | Never |
| Banker | 0–5 when Player stood | Always |
Standard punto banco drawing rules, which Evolution's baccarat tables follow.
