Eventually, baccarat evolved into European baccarat and the French game 'chemin de fer'. The table is staffed by only one dealer who is responsible for handling the cards. The limits are lower and usually range from a $2 to $5 minimum, up to $500 maximum. Lacking the formality and large group of players, mini-baccarat is played fast and is a good place to learn how to play. Baccarat is the oldest of all games played in modern casinos. Some casinos have Mini-Baccarat in the regular gaming areas which is the same game except the minimum bets are lower. Baccarat has one of the lowest house edges of any casino game (1.06%), making it an excellent value. a possible pitfall is that Mini-Baccarat is dealt very quickly, perhaps 300 hands per hour. Baccarat (pronounced bah-kah-rah) does have a couple of things in common with blackjack. You can bet on either hand to win. When a hand total is larger 9, the first digit is dropped (an 11 would become 1) Aces count as 1, and face cards have no value. 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. If the PLAYER STANDS, the DEALER must: draw if Dealers total is 0 to 5; stand if Dealers total is 6 or 7. At the start of the game, the Player and Banker hands are each dealt two cards.
