High Limit Baccarat is a game of chance and skill between you and the Banker.

It is played with eight standard decks of 52 cards. The decks are shuffled after every game. The game odds are high.

There are five types of bets:

• Player
  
• Banker
  
• Tie
• Player and Tie
• Banker and Tie

The objective of the game is to predict whose hand, the Banker's or the Player's, will be closer to the value of nine. You can also bet on the possibility of a tie.

Important:
Malfunctions void all plays and pays.

Winning hands in High Limit Baccarat depend on the hand you bet on, and whether that hand wins.

If the hand you bet on wins, the payout is as follows:

Note:

• If the hand that you bet on wins, you are paid double your bet, unless you bet on a tie.
• If you bet on a tie, and win, you are paid eight times your original bet amount, plus your original bet amount.
• If you bet on the Banker's hand, and win, the House charges a 5% commission.
• If you bet on a hand, and the hand loses, you lose your bet.
• If you do not bet on a tie, and the hands tie, your bet is returned to you.
  

You can place different bet types on the table during a High Limit Baccarat game.

When the cards are dealt face down you can look at the cards dealt to you. This is called Peeking. For more information see the Peeking section.

The Player’s cards are always turned over before the Banker’s cards.

To play a game of High Limit Baccarat, do the following:

1. Click the Chip Selector arrow buttons to select the chip size you want to bet.
   
   
2. Select the hand you want to bet on.

• Click the Banker betting area to bet on the Banker's hand.
  

• Click the Player betting area to bet on the Player's hand.
  

• Click the Tie betting area to bet on the possibility of the Banker and the Player's hands being a tie.

3. Click the Deal button. Each hand is dealt either two or three cards.
   
   
4. Click the Flip button. The cards are turned over.
   
   
5. The hands are compared. Any winnings are paid according to the Payout Schedule.

   Note:
   

• If you have a winning hand you are paid according to the Payout Schedule, the win amount is displayed in the Win box.
  

• If you do not have a winning hand, the game is over and you can play again.

When your cards are face down you can peek at the cards.

If you are betting on a Tie then you do not get to peek at the cards.

You can peek at a card by dragging your mouse pointer over an edge of the card. The value and suit are removed from the corners. You can determine the value of the card by the amount of pips that are displayed.

After peeking at the cards click the Flip button. The cards are turned over and the game continues.

Note:
For the procedure on how to use the Peeking function, see the How to Peek section.

The value of a hand is calculated by adding up the total of the cards. The card values are:

Example:

1. A hand consists of an Eight of Clubs and a Seven of Diamonds. The point values are 8 and 7, so the total of the hand is 8 + 7 = 15. As the "tens" portion of the total is ignored, the value of the hand is five.
   
   
2. A hand consists of a Nine of Spades, a Two of Hearts and a Nine of Diamonds. The point values are 9, 2 and 9, so the total of the hand is 9 + 2 + 9 = 20. As the "tens" portion of the total is ignored, the value of the hand is zero.

Note:
If the hand you bet on wins, you are paid out according to the Payout Schedule.

The rules of High Limit Baccarat are divided into two groups. These are:

General Rules
Third Card Rules
Payout Rules

2. If you bet on the Banker's hand, and the hand wins, you pay a 5% commission to the House.
   
   
3. King’s, Queen’s, Jack’s and Ten’s have a zero point value.
   
   
4. If the hands tie, and you did not bet on a Tie, your bet is returned to you.
   
   

A third card can be dealt depending on the following rules:

1. If the Player or the Banker has a total of an 8 or a 9 they both must stand.

   Note:
   This rule overrides all others.
