Baccarat appears on POKER Maid CASINO Jupiter OSAKA’s official game list. Its labels can confuse a first-time visitor: “Player” and “Banker” name two hands on the table, rather than identifying you and the staff member. Learn those labels and how the final digit is calculated, and the dealer’s sequence becomes much easier to recognize.

Before you begin
  • Player and Banker are names of hands.
  • A = 1; 10, J, Q and K = 0.
  • Keep only the last digit of the total.
01

Count from zero to nine

Cards from 2 to 9 keep their face value, an ace counts as 1, and tens and picture cards count as 0. Add the card values and keep the final digit. An 8 and a 7 total 15, so the baccarat score is 5. This is different from blackjack, where going past 21 matters.

If a third card with value 6 is added to that example, 8 + 7 + 6 totals 21 and becomes 1. The score is always a single digit. Practise with ordinary cards before trying to follow both hands at the same time.

02

Follow the two named hands

The dealer deals to the Player hand and the Banker hand. Once all required cards have been drawn, the hand closer to 9 is stronger; equal final scores form a tie. A two-card 8 or 9 is known as a natural and has a special role in the drawing sequence.

Additional cards follow the rules of the baccarat variation being played. They are not normally a blackjack-style choice to hit or stand. For a first round, ask the dealer to identify the two hands and explain why another card is or is not drawn.

What to ask when you arrive

At POKER Maid CASINO Jupiter OSAKA, say that you would like a first explanation of baccarat and ask which table is available. Seeing the game on the official site does not tell you the live arrangement for a particular moment. Staff can explain the table procedure you will actually be following.

The scoring illustration below is an example, not a record of a live round. Use it to review card values, then watch one complete deal so the arithmetic and the physical sequence fit together. The blackjack guide is a useful comparison if you are mixing up the two counting systems.
