What is Baccarat?

MCW offers two exciting variations of Baccarat for you to enjoy: Classic Baccarat and Insurance Baccarat. Let’s break them down:


Classic Baccarat

In Classic Baccarat, 8 decks (416 cards) are used. Here’s the basic card setup:

  • Aces are worth 1 point.
  • Ten, Jack, Queen, and King are worth zero (0).
  • All other cards hold their face value.

Objective:

Your goal is to get as close as possible to a hand value of 9. If the total card value goes over 9, only the second digit of the total is counted (e.g., a hand with 15 becomes 5).

Gameplay:

  • Two hands are dealt: the Banker’s Hand and the Player’s Hand.
  • The Player’s Hand is dealt first. If either hand totals 8 or 9 after the first cards are dealt, it’s a natural win, and no further cards are drawn.
  • If neither hand totals 8 or 9, a third card may be drawn based on the Three Card Rules.

Side Bets:

  • Big/Small
  • Banker/Player Pair
  • Any Pair
  • Perfect Pair
  • Bonus Play
  • Super Six

Standard Payouts:

  • Banker Wins: 1:0.95
  • Player Wins: 1:1
  • Tie Wins: 1:8

Insurance Baccarat

In Insurance Baccarat, the game gets an exciting twist. Before the Player or Banker hand receives a third card, a bet is offered at fixed odds based on the Baccarat Insurance Pay Table.

Standard Payouts:

  • Banker Wins: 1:0.95
  • Player Wins: 1:1
  • Tie Wins: 1:8
