PostHeaderIcon Baccarat and Craps

These are the games I don’t like at all. Baccarat is really easy but that’s why to me is boring. Craps on the other hand guarantees lot’s of fun but is very hard to understand and play. I never really knew how it is played but I’m going to try it some day. Let’s just review some of the basics of both.

Wiki explains it like this: in Baccarat, cards 2-9 are worth face value, 10s and face cards (J, Q, K) are worth zero, and Aces are worth 1 point. You calculate your score by taking the sum of all cards modulo 10, meaning that after adding the value of the cards the tens digit is ignored. The cards are dealt face down, one to the ‘Player’ first, then to the ‘Banker’; ‘Player’ then ‘Banker’ again. This is the initial deal consisting of two cards each. Both cards in each hand are then turned over and added together and the croupier calls the total (e.g. five to the ‘Player’, three to the ‘Banker’). From this position the ‘Tableau’ or table of play is used to determine if further cards need to be drawn. Depending on the two hands, the Player and Banker may draw a single card or stand pat. The hand with the highest total wins.

Sounds really easy. But for me this video was more helpful.

The game of Craps is more complex and therefore more difficult to explain. In its core is a dice game played against other players or a bank. They take turns rolling two dices as you may have seen in a lot of movies. It would take me too much time to explain all the rulz so I found this video that explains the basics of this casino game very very good.

That’s all folks! See you next time when we take on slots :)
