Eventually, baccarat evolved into European baccarat and the French game 'chemin de fer'. The difference is one of the players banks the game instead of the casino. Falguiere based the game on an old Etruscan ritual of the nine gods, who prayed to a blonde virgin on their tiptoes waiting for her to throw a nine-sided die. Baccarat has a history overseas too, which is evidenced by its popularity among the Asian population who visit Las Vegas each year. Two hands are dealt, and the higher hand wins. In the event of a "Tie", the bet is a push and the "Tie" bet is paid. The “Tie” bet pays 9:1 if won.Note that there's only one player hand dealt no matter how many players there are, because the "Player" hand isn't really the player's hand, it's just one of the choices you can bet on. In regular Baccarat each player gets a turn to deal the cards. Preset rules dictate whether a given hand gets third card. The dealers keep track of this and you pay the commission when you cash out at the end of your session. Betting on Banker has a lower house edge, because the Banker hand is much more likely to win against the Player hand. Remember the slower you play, the longer your money will last. Try to play Baccarat at crowded tables, because that slows down the play. If the PLAYER STANDS, the DEALER must: draw if Dealers total is 0 to 5; stand if Dealers total is 6 or 7. Ace counts as 1.
