SUMMARY OF GAME:
The object of the game is to assemble two hands of two (2) or three (3) cards with a point value as close to nine (9) as possible.
EZ Baccarat plays the same way as regular baccarat except that it eliminates the odds differential between Player Line and Dealer Line wagers and replaces it by “barring” one specific winning Bank hand (the winning Bank hand consisting of three cards and totaling seven points). The appearance of this hand is the “Dragon 7”. Customers can make a proposition bet at any time – the Dragon 7 bet, which pays 40 to 1 when the three-card winning Bank hand totaling 7 points occurs.
There is also an additional bet, the “Panda 8” that can be made at any time, which pays 25 to 1 when the Player side wins with three cards totaling 8 points occur.
To begin the game, players make a wager(s) on Player, or Dealer, or Tie (‘Base Game Wager”) or a combination of the above. Players may also place a “Dragon 7” bet (three card winning Bank hand totaling 7 points) and/or a “Panda 8” wager. All wagers must be between the minimum and maximum limit for that table.
WAGERS ARE RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
In the case of a Bank win, Bank wagers are paid 1 to 1. Player, Tie, Dragon 7 and Panda 8 wagers lose.
In the case of a Player win, Player wagers are paid 1 to 1. Bank, Tie, Dragon 7 and Panda 8 wagers lose.
In the case of a Tie, Tie wagers are paid 8 to 1. Bank and Player wagers push and Dragon 7 and Panda 8 wagers lose.
In the case of a Dragon 7, Dragon 7 wagers are paid 40 to 1. Bank wagers push, Player and Tie wagers lose.
In the case of a Panda 8, Panda 8 wagers are paid 25 to 1. Bank wagers lose, Tie wagers lose and Player wagers win.
EXAMPLE LAYOUT OF EZ BACCARAT:
(redacted)
TYPE OF CARD DECK:
A standard 52 deck of cards is utilized in a multiple deck shoe. Eight (8) decks shall be used during the play of the game. There are no Jokers. All cards 2 through 9 hold their face value. 10, J, Q & K have a value of zero (0). The Ace has a value of one (1). A hand with cards whose sum is in double figures is ranked with the tens (10s) digit ignored. For example, a hand totaling eighteen
(18) would count as eight (8).
BETTING SCHEME:
1.All wagers in EZ Baccarat shall be made by placing gaming chips on the appropriate betting areas of the table layout keeping in mind the table minimum and maximum wagering limits.
2.All wagers shall be placed prior to any cards being dealt. No bets shall be made, increased, or withdrawn after the dealer has begun dealing.
3.At the beginning of each round of play, players have the following options when placing their wager(s):
1.Player line which pays 1 to 1
2.Dealer line which pays 1 to1
3.Dragon 7 area which pays 40 to 1
4.Panda 8 area which pays 25 to 1
5.Tie area which pays 8 to 1
TIE WAGER:
The Tie bet pays 8 to 1 if the player/dealer and Player hands tie. The tie wager may be less than, equal to, or greater than the base game wager. However, the tie bet wager cannot exceed the table limit. A Natural 8 or 9 is accomplished when the first two cards of the player or dealer’s hand has a value of eight (8) or nine (9). When this occurs, the other hand will not be allowed to draw an additional card.
HOW WINNERS ARE DETERMINED AND PAID:
After the cards are dealt, the closest to 9 will be declared the winner and all winners will be paid and all losers will have their wagers awarded to the player/dealer.
GAME RULES:
After the dealer delivers the first two cards to both the Player Line and Dealer Line, the following Baccarat rules are followed.
•The player hand must stand when their hand is valued at 6 through 9 and must hit when the hand is valued at 5 or less.
•If the player stands, then the dealer hand hits on a total of 5 or less.
•If the player does hit for a complete hand, then the dealer hand hits using the following rules:
oIf the dealer’s hand total is 3, then the dealer hand is dealt a third card unless the player’s third card was an 8.
oIf the dealer’s hand total is 4, then the dealer hand is dealt a third card unless the player’s third card was a 0, 1, 8, or 9.
oIf the dealer’s hand total is 5, then the dealer hand is dealt a third card if the player’s third card was 4, 5, 6, or 7.
oIf the dealer’s hand total is 6, then the dealer hand is dealt a third card if the players third card was a 6 or 7.
The following chart, where “S”= Dealer Line “stands” and “H”= Dealers Line “hits” demonstrates how each hand combination is resolved:
(redacted)
Once all cards have been dealt, the hand with the highest total point count is declared the winner. In the case where both hands have an equal point count, the hand is a Tie. Wagers will then be settled in one of the following two ways:
ROUND OF PLAY:
•The Player/Dealer makes their wager.
•All players place their wagers on the player or dealer line.
•The dealer takes all casino collections and drops it in the affixed drop box.
•The dealer deals the cards and then determines the winner (Player or Dealer) or whether the hand is a tie.
•All ties between the player line and the dealer line on zero through nine (0-9) are considered a “push,” and the original wagers are called off.
•The dealer (if applicable) records whether the preceding hand was won by the player, dealer or was a Tie on the affixed electronic reader board.
