 Play NOW Casino Treasure Paramount Holdings NV Baccarat Game Rules Two cards are dealt face up to both the Player and the Banker. If one hand has a natural, that hand wins. If both hands have a natural, the higher natural wins. If both hands have the same natural, it's a tie. If neither the Player nor the Banker has a natural, then play goes to the Player. The Player's hand stands on a score of 6 or 7. If the score is less than 6, the Player draws one card and receives a new score based on the value of all three cards. Rules of Play for Player | When the Player's first two cards total: | Player Action | | 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 | DRAW | | 6, 7 | STAND | | 8, 9 | STAND (natural) | Now it is the Banker's turn. When the Player stands on 6 or 7 (and therefore did not draw a third card), the Banker's play is quite straightforward. The Banker must draw on scores of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 and stand on 6 or 7. Rules of Play for Banker when Player Stands on 6 or 7 | When the Banker's first two cards total: | Banker Action | | 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 | DRAW | | 6, 7 | STAND | | 8, 9 | STAND (natural) | However, if the Player did draw a third card, the Banker's play gets more interesting. In this case, the Banker stands on a score of 7 but draws or stands on scores of 6 or less depending on the value of the Player's THIRD CARD (not on the score of the Player's HAND). The rules governing whether the Banker draws or stands are as follows: Rules of Play for Banker when Player Draws a Third Card Banker's Score | Player's Third Card | | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | | 7 | S | S | S | S | S | S | S | S | S | S | | 6 | S | S | S | S | S | S | D | D | S | S | | 5 | S | S | S | S | D | D | D | D | S | S | | 4 | S | S | D | D | D | D | D | D | S | S | | 3 | D | D | D | D | D | D | D | D | S | D | | 2 | D | D | D | D | D | D | D | D | D | D | | 1 | D | D | D | D | D | D | D | D | D | D | | 0 | D | D | D | D | D | D | D | D | D | D | | S = STAND | D = DRAW | |
