The objective of baccarat is to bet on which hand—either the "Player" hand or the "Banker" hand—will have a total closest to 9. Players can also bet on a tie between the two hands. Each hand is dealt two cards, and the goal is to achieve a hand value that adds up to 9 or as close as possible. Face cards and tens are worth zero, and aces are worth 1, with all other cards valued at their face value. The hand total is calculated by adding the card values and taking the rightmost digit (for example, a 7 and 8 would total 15, but the hand value would be 5). The game is largely based on chance, with no decisions required from the player once the bets are placed.
