Playing Mini Baccarat is as easy as it gets. The objective of the game is to bet on either the player or the banker hand - whichever one will have a total closest to nine at the end of each round. You can also place bets on a tie if you believe both hands will have equal values.
To start playing, simply choose your desired chip value and place your bet on one of these three options. Once all bets are placed, two cards are dealt face-up to both the player and banker positions. Face cards (King, Queen, Jack) and tens count as zero points while other cards retain their face value. If either hand totals eight or nine with just two cards (known as a "natural"), no further cards are drawn.
However, if neither hand has a natural score after initial dealing or stands at six or seven points respectively, additional drawing rules come into play based on predetermined criteria set by casinos offering this variant.
