Baccarat and Card Games: The Rules Are Simple, the Decision Is What Counts
In baccarat, the player bets on either the "Player" or "Banker" hand — whichever hand has cards totalling 9 or closest to 9 wins. Cards valued at 10, Jack, Queen and King are all worth zero; cards from 1 to 9 are worth their face value. If the total has two digits, only the last digit counts — for example, 15 counts as 5. There is no complex strategy in this game, which makes it a good starting point.
In Teen Patti, each player receives three cards. The player with the highest hand (Pure Sequence, Sequence, Trail) wins the pot, or wins if all others fold. It is worth reading up beforehand on the rules for raising, playing blind and requesting a show.
Andar Bahar begins with a "Joker" card being revealed. Cards are then dealt alternately to the Andar and Bahar sides. Whoever bet on the side that receives a card matching the Joker's value first wins. The whole process is quick, which is why it is many people's first choice.
