BACCARAT HELP

Objective
To bet on the hand that will finish with a point total of 9, or as close to it as possible.

Rules
The player has three options to select - PLAYER, BANKER or TIE (8 to 1). This is possible when the player clicks on that particular option on the table. The selection is shown by an arrow. By default the selection is set on PLAYER. The player can also BET on more than one option.

The game starts by placing a BET on any or all the options. The player can click on 1, 5, 10 or 25 coins at the bottom right corner of the table. A maximum of 99 each can be BET on any of the options for one game. In order to reduce the BET, click on the coins placed on the center of the table.

Once the BET is placed, the player can press "DEAL" to get the cards.

The deal starts by distributing two cards to each PLAYER and BANKER one after the other starting with PLAYER. That is first and third card is given to PLAYER and second and fourth card is given to BANKER.

The value of cards is as follows:

Card Values
· Aces count as one.
· 2 to 9 count at face value.
· 10 and higher count as zero.

Third card is drawn according to the following rules:

After the cards are drawn and scores are declared, the player gets the payout according to the BET placed. If BET is placed on PLAYER and PLAYER has higher points, he wins the BET as per the PAYOUT (mentioned below). Similarly, if BET is placed on BANKER or TIE and if any such situation arises, the players wins the BET as per the PAYOUT.

Once the game is complete, start a NEW GAME. The player can REBET the same amount on the same option (that is PLAYER, BANKER, TIE). Else the player can select the BET as for a new game.

"DISCONNECT" helps the player to discontinue playing temporarily. We recommend players to DISCONNECT every time they leave their game, though for a short time, to avoid another player accessing your account.

"EXIT" helps the player to quit the game.

The account of money transaction during the game will be maintained and it will be carried forward to the next game the player plays or the next time the player comes to play any of the games, once the player EXITs the game. (This facility is available for games played with REAL MONEY and not included in DEMO VERSION.)

Besides this, to facilitate beginners, there is also an ongoing help, on the right side of the screen.
