In Baccarat, the specific drawing rule for the third card can significantly impact the house edge. Here's a brief explanation:

- If the Player's hand value is 5 or less, they draw a third card.
- If the Player stands (6 or 7), the Banker draws a third card if their hand value is 5 or less.
- If the Player draws a third card, the Banker's action depends on their hand value and the Player's third card.

The house edge in Baccarat comes from the fact that the Banker's drawing rule is slightly more favorable than the Player's. Specifically:

- When the Player draws a third card, the Banker gets to see it before deciding whether to draw.
- The Banker's drawing rule is designed to maximize their chances of winning or pushing
