Why are the hole cards turned face down?

In baccarat, the two initial cards dealt to each player, known as hole cards or down cards, are turned face down for privacy and fairness reasons. This ensures that the players' hands remain confidential and eliminates the possibility of cheating or collusion between players. Additionally, since baccarat is a game of chance, players must rely on luck and probability to win, rather than any advantage gained from seeing their opponents' cards.
