Actually, you can play variations of Baccarat with a different number of decks or cards. While traditional Baccarat is played with eight decks of 52 cards each, some versions use fewer decks, such as Mini Baccarat with one deck, or more decks, like some online versions with six or nine decks. Additionally, some variants use a reduced deck, like Punto Banco with 48 cards, or a shuffled deck with jokers added. These variations can alter the game's dynamics, house edge, and strategy, offering a fresh twist on the classic game.
