In a game of Baccarat, Aces count as one, two to nine cards count at face value and tens and face cards is worth zero. In this game there is never a combination of cards that totals more than nine.
So if you are dealt a seven and a nine the total will be six and not 16. Players will find that a total of nine is the perfect hand when the first two cards are dealt. An eight hand is the second best hand that a player can have.
This is an exciting game of luck where no skill is required as the outcome of the game is based solely on the cards that were dealt.
