Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the objective in Baccarat?

The objective is to predict whether the Player or Banker hand will finish with a total closest to nine, or whether the two hands will Tie. The dealer initially distributes two cards each to the Player and Banker hands.

2. How are card values calculated?

Cards from 2 through 9 retain their face values, while an Ace counts as one. Tens, Jacks, Queens, and Kings count as zero. For totals of 10 or more, only the final digit determines the hand’s baccarat value.

3. What is a Natural in Baccarat?

A Natural occurs when the first two cards dealt to either the Player or Banker total eight or nine. When either hand has a Natural, no additional cards are dealt before the result is determined.

4. Does the player decide whether another card is drawn?

No. After the initial two cards are dealt, the dealer draws an additional card to either hand when required by the table of play. Players therefore do not make hit-or-stand decisions during a hand.

5. What wagers does Solaire list for Baccarat?

Solaire lists Player, Banker, Tie, and Pairs as the available wagering options. These allow players to back either main hand, predict a Tie, or wager on a qualifying pair result.

6. What are the Baccarat payouts?

Player bets pay even money. Banker bets also pay even money but are subject to a 5% commission. Solaire lists Tie bets at 8:1 and successful Pair bets at 11:1.

7. Where does Solaire offer Baccarat?

Solaire’s official Baccarat guide describes the game as exclusive to VIP Gaming. The resort also features Baccarat among the electronic table games available at its Players Stadium.
