The "third card rule" in Baccarat refers to the specific set of rules that dictate whether the player or the banker (or both) should draw a third card during the course of the game. The rules for drawing the third card are based on the total value of the initial two cards dealt to the player and the banker, and in some cases, the value of the third card drawn by the player.
The following are the general guidelines for the third card rule in Baccarat:
Player's Third Card Rule:
If the player's total is 8 or 9 (a natural hand), the player stands (does not draw a third card).
If the player's total is 6 or 7, the player stands.
If the player's total is 0 to 5, the player draws a third card.
Banker's Third Card Rule:
If the banker's total is 8 or 9 (a natural hand), the banker stands (does not draw a third card) unless the player has a natural hand with a higher value. In that case, the banker's hand would still stand.
If the banker's total is 7, the banker stands.
If the banker's total is 0 to 2, the banker always draws a third card.
