Baccarat - Enhanced Baccarat

The object of the game is to get a count of 9 or closest to it. The hand that holds the higher count wins. Bets may be placed on the BANKER or PLAYER, TIE and/or PAIR. Tens, Jacks, Queens and Kings count 0. The Ace counts 1 while 2 through 9 are at face value. A hand is evaluated as the sum modulo ten of its cards, i.e., only the last digit of the total is counted. PAIR BETS

A betting slot is provided on the table layout where bets are placed on the PLAYER PAIR or BANKER PAIR outcome on the first two cards of the principal hands. PLAYER PAIR occurs when the PLAYER hand gets a natural pair. BANKER PAIR occurs when the BANKER hand gets a natural pair.

Super Six
(No Commission Baccarat)

This game is basically Baccarat, but where the House does not collect vigorous from winning Banker bets except when the Banker hand wins on a score of 6.

An Ace has a value of one. Face cards have a value of ten, while the rest of the cards (2 to 10) are counted according to their numerical value. A hand’s score is the sum of the point values of the cards but ignoring any tens digit. Eight decks of cards are shuffled for this game.

There are two hands in this game, called the Player’s hand and the Banker’s hand. The game begins when four cards are dealt from a dealing shoe where the first and third cards shall be for the Player’s hand while the second and the fourth cards shall be for the Banker’s hand.

The dealer announces the initial point and when either hand totals 8 or 9, this hand is called “Natural” and no further cards are dealt. “Natural” 9 wins over “Natural”8.

If neither hand is a “Natural,” one additional card may be dealt to each hand in accordance with the rules on hitting of third card (see charts under the game of Baccarat). The hand that is closer to 9 wins.

In general, winning hands are paid even money. If the final count of the Banker is 6 while Player has less than 6, bets on the Banker and Super 6 win and the game is a Super 6. In this case, Banker bets are Paid 0.5-to-1, while Super 6 bets are paid 12-to-1. The Super 6 bet is based on the proposition that a particular deal would result in a Super 6. Bets on the Super 6 lose when the deal results in a Draw, or any other outcome that is not a Super 6.

If the final count is equal for both hands, then the game is a Draw or a Tie. Bets on Draw are paid 8-to-1. The Draw bet is based on the proposition that a particular deal would result in a Draw.

Original bets on the Baker or the Player may be reduced or withdrawn after a Draw. However, additional bets shall only be accepted up to the Table limit. Cards are dealt for a new deal after a Draw.

Note:

If the Player has 6 or 7 on its first two cards, the Banker Stands on 6 or 7but draws on 0, 1, 3, 4 and 5.

Pai-Gow Poker

The game is played with seven hands using one deck of 52 cards plus one Joker.

The Joker can be used as an Ace, any face card (Jack, Queen or King), any number in a straight, an Ace in a flush, or any number in a straight flush. Other cards count according to their face value.

The Players rank their cards, setting two cards for the Low hand and five for the High hand. Players always set their cards ahead of the banker. Players are not allowed to look at other Players’ cards.

Ranking of cards from Highest to lowest:

Royal flush (A, K, Q, J & 10 of the same suit)
Straight flush (5 succeeding numbers, same suit)
Four of a kind (4 cards with same number/face)
Full house (a pair and three cards with the same number/face)
Flush (5 cards of the same suit)
Straight (5 consecutive numbers, mixed suits, lowest straight is Ace to Five)
Three of a Kind/Trio
Two Pairs
One Pair
No pair, Ace high
In case of foul play where the player puts the Low hand higher than the High hand, the Player automatically loses. (This rule does not apply to the Banker.)
In case a Player’s cards are identical with those of the Banker although different in suit, the Banker wins over that particular hand.
All winning bets are paid 0.95 to 1.
A Progressive Pai-Gow Poker variant is also available, where a jackpot may be won by placing a side bet.
