Baccarat is one of those games that has a certain mystique, evoking images of high-rollers in opulent casinos. It is also a game of chance, but it has a low house edge and is relatively easy to master, which has made it popular among casino players. It has even been featured in movies and TV shows like James Bond, where Bond plays the game against Le Chiffre.
Unlike other card games, baccarat is a stand-alone table, and the dealer does not participate in the actual game. Two cards are dealt to the Player hand and the Banker hand, and the winner is the hand that has a total closer to nine than the other. The game is usually dealt from a six or eight-deck shoe, with all 10s, Jacks, Queens, and Kings equaling nine, while Aces equaling one.
