What is the third card rule in baccarat?

[ProGambler]

under baccarat, the third card rule specifies the circumstances under which a third card is dealt to either the player's hand or the banker's hand. The initial two-card totals of these hands are used to determine whether to draw a third card. The guidelines for drawing a third card in baccarat are as follows:

Playing Card:

No additional cards are dealt if the player's hand totals 8 or 9 after the first two cards (a "natural"), ending the round.
The player stands and no additional cards are dealt if their hand totals 6 or 7.
A third card is immediately dealt to the player if their hand totals five or fewer.

Playing Banker:

If the player does not draw a third card, the banker draws a third card if their hand totals 0-5.
If the player draws a third card, the banker's third card will depend on the value of the player's third card as well as their own initial hand:
- If the player’s third card is between 2 to 7, the banker draws a third card if their hand totals 0-5.
- If the player’s third card is an 8, the banker draws a third card if their hand totals 0-2.
- If the player’s third card is a 9, 10, face card or an Ace, the banker draws a third card if their hand totals 0-3.

It is important to note that the third card rule in baccarat varies depending on the version of the game being played. Be sure to review the specific rules of the game you are playing to determine the circumstances under which a third card will be dealt.

Depending on the combined value of the first two-card hands for the player and the banker, different baccarat rules apply upon drawing a third card. Throughout the game, the dealer will automatically apply them; players have no influence over the drawing choices.
