Baccarat is a simple card game often played in casinos. To start, players bet on one of three outcomes: the Player, the Banker, or a Tie. Each side is dealt two cards, with the goal of getting a total closest to nine. Cards 2-9 are worth their face value, while 10s and face cards are worth zero. If the total exceeds nine, only the last digit counts. Players can place bets before the cards are dealt, and the game is largely based on chance, making it easy for beginners to enjoy.
