The Baccarat Deal and Scoring
It is not important to understand how this works. We’ve already explained what a player needs to know to sit down and play at a baccarat table. The entire deal and scoring is all automated, so if you don’t understand it that’s okay. However for those who would like to understand the game here is how the dealing and scoring work.
Baccarat starts with each the player and the banker hand being dealt two cards. Aces are worth 1 point, Face cards are worth 0 points, and other cards are worth their face value. In baccarat the possible scores are 0-9. When a hand totals to to two digits, say for example: 4c+9s =13, then only the second digit is used. In this example of 13 the score would be three.
