Mini-Baccarat is played with six or eight decks of cards. The cards are shuffled by the dealer and placed in a shoe. All cards in Mini-Baccarat are dealt by the dealer.
Mini-Baccarat is a simple game to play. Mini-Baccarat involves just a few decisions: how much you want to bet, and whether or not to bet on the Bank, the Player or on the Tie Bet. In betting on the Bank, the casino will collect 5% commission on the money won. The commission is paid at the conclusion of each shoe or when leaving the game. A winning Tie Bet pays 8 to 1.
The Game starts with four cards dealt from the shoe, forming two hands-one called the Player's Hand, the other is called the Banker's Hand. The initial four cards are dealt alternately from
the shoe. The first and third cards dealt are placed face down for the Player's Hand. The second and fourth cards dealt are placed face down until the Player's Hand is called. At this time, the
second and fourth cards shall be placed face up for the Banker's Hand. If the point count of either hand is 8 or 9, it is called a "natural," and no additional cards are drawn. There
are no options regarding drawing the third card for either Player's or Banker's Hand. No more than one additional card will be drawn to each hand. The dealer announces the point count of the Player's
Hand and the Banker's Hand and draws additional cards if appropriate. All bets must be placed before the dealer calls "no more bets" and the cards are dealt. The hand closest to 9 wins
and shall be paid at odds of 1 to 1. If both the Player's and the Banker's hand are identical totals, the Tie Bet wins, but the Player's and Banker's hands neither win nor lose. Any card from
2 to 9 shall have its face value. Ace equals 1. All 10s and face cards, or any combination of them have no value. When the total of the cards exceeds 9, the first digit of the total is dropped
(i.e., 9 + 5 + 4 = 8; Jack + Ace = 1).
