Scorecard Baccarat
Overview
Scorecard Baccarat is played just the same
as the real full-table version of Baccarat
is played in a real casino. We use a real 8
deck shoe instead of shuffling after every
hand like other online casinos do. You may
"peek" at the cards, and open the cards in
any order you like. You may cut the cards,
request free hands and even change your
seat. Most importantly, our game keeps track
of every hand played on our automatic score
card.
Game play
- Click on the 'NEW SHOE' button to begin the
game.
- Click 'YES' to cut the deck, or click
'DEALER CUT' to have the dealer cut the

'PLAYER', 'BANKER' or 'TIE' to place your
bets.

that many hands. (There are no wagers on a
free hand.)
- Place a bet or bets and click 'DEAL' to deal
the cards.

- From the right-hand edge or bottom edge of
any card, click and drag to "peek" at the
card.
Reading the Scorecard
Blue = Player
Red = Banker
Green = Tie
Oval = Natural Winner
Square = Non-Natural Winner
Rules
The cards numbered two through nine are
worth their face value, the aces are valued
at 1, and the tens and face cards have a
value of 0. The suit is irrelevant. You may
bet on Player and Tie at the same time, or
Banker and Tie at the same time as well.
Once the "Deal" button has been clicked,
the dealer will give two cards to the player
hand and two cards to the banker hand. The
hand is scored using the right digit of the
total of the cards. For example if the two
cards were a 5 and a 9, then the total would
be 14, and the score would be 4. The scores
will always be between 0 and 9 and it is
impossible to break.
A third card may or may not be dealt to
the player and/or the dealer depending on
the following rules:
Both the dealer hand and the banker hand
stand if either has a total of 8 or 9. This
rule takes precedence over all other rules.
The player hand is dealt a third card if
it's total is 5 or under. Otherwise the
player hand stands, in which case the banker
hand would receive another card if it has a
total of 5 or under. If the player hand gets
a third card, use the chart below to figure
out whether or not the banker hand gets a
third card too:
