Trump Marina Casino Resort - Baccarat
The game of Baccarat, as played in New Jersey, is derived from Chemin De Fer, one of Europe’s oldest and most popular card games.
The game is simple to play. You can bet on the Player’s side, the Bank side, or on a Tie hand.
Baccarat is played with eight decks of cards and is dealt from a shoe, similar to Blackjack. Four cards are dealt, the first and third to the Player’s hand, the second and fourth to the Banker’s hand.
The object of the game is to make a point total of 9, or as close to it as possible. Aces count as one, 2 through 9 as their face value, and tens and picture cards as zero. For example:
10 and 6 = 6
2, Ace and Queen = 3
The Dealer announces the point total of both hands; if either one totals 8 or 9, it is called a “Natural” and no additional cards are dealt.
If necessary, the Dealer will request that a third card be dealt, face up, first to the Player’s hand, and then to the Banker’s hand. No more than one additional card may be dealt to either hand, the drawing of the third card being governed by the following fixed rules:
RULES:
Player
When the first two cards total:
| 1-2-3-4-5-0 | Draws |
| 6-7 | Stands |
| 8-9 | Natural – Stands |
RULES:
Banker
When the Player stands on 6 or 7, the Banker will always draw on totals of 0-1-2-3-4-5, and stand on 6-7-8-9.
When the Player does not have a Natural, the Banker shall always draw on the total of 0-1-2, and then observe the following rules:
When the first two cards total:
| Banker Having: | Draw
when Player’s Third Card is: |
Stand
when Player’s Third Card is: |
| 3 | 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-9-0 | 8 |
| 4 | 2-3-4-5-6-7 | 1-8-9-0 |
| 5 | 4-5-6-7 | 1-2-3-8-9-0 |
| 6 | 6-7 | 1-2-3-4-5-8-9-0 |
| 7 | Stand | |
| 8-9 | Natural - Stand |
Whichever hand totals closest to 9 will be the winning hand. The winning bets will be paid even money (1 to 1).
A 5% commission (vigorish) is charged on all winning bank wagers. These commissions must be paid by the end of each shoe, at the latest.
When both Player’s hand and Banker’s hand have equal totals, a “Tie” is declared; neither one wins or loses. In this case, the Tie Bet wins and pays 8 to 1.
When the Player’s hand wins, the shoe passes counter-clockwise to the next participant in the game.
