Baccarat is a classic table game with a long history dating back centuries. It's a card comparison game where the goal is to correctly guess which of the two hands – the player's or the banker's will have a higher value at the end of each round. The value of the hands is determined by the performance of the players.
There are three main bet types – the player’s hand, the banker’s hand, and the tie. In most games, the banker bet has a house edge of 1.68%. The player’s hand has a lower edge of about 1.30%, and the tie bet comes with an advantage of 14.97%.
