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.
 
The objective of baccarat is to bet on the hand that you believe will have a total closest to 9 - either the "Player" hand or the "Banker" hand. Players can also bet on a tie between the two hands. The game involves two main hands: the "Player" hand and the "Banker" hand. Each hand is dealt two cards to start, and the goal is to have a hand value as close to 9 as possible.

In baccarat, the card values are calculated differently than in many other card games. Face cards and tens are worth zero points, while aces are worth 1 point. All other cards (2-9) are worth their face value in points. The total value of a hand is calculated by adding up the points of the two cards and considering only the rightmost digit of the sum. For example, if a hand consists of a 7 and an 8 (totaling 15 points), the hand value is 5 (the rightmost digit of 15).

Once the cards are dealt and the values are calculated, the winning hand is determined based on which hand has a total closest to 9. Bets can be placed on the "Player" hand, the "Banker" hand, or a tie. It is important to note that baccarat is a game of chance, and players do not make any decisions once the bets are placed. The outcome of the game is solely based on luck and the rules of the game.
