BACCARAT RULES
Experience the ultimate game of elegance and chance. Baccarat is the preferred game of high-rollers worldwide, offering a sophisticated blend of simple strategy and high-stakes excitement.
Card Values
Cards 2 to 9 are worth their face value. Tens and face cards (J, Q, K) count as zero. Aces are worth 1.
Total Logic
Hand totals are the last digit of the sum. For example, a 7 and 8 (15) results in a hand total of 5. The highest possible total is 9.
The Objective
Bet on which handâPlayer or Bankerâwill have a total closest to 9, or bet on a Tie between both hands.
HOW TO PLAY

BLOCKCHAIN BACCARAT
Blockchain Baccarat uses cryptographic hashes published before each card is revealed, so you can independently verify that every card value and position in the shoe was never altered.
Verify Card
to check the card value
Each card's unique Card Point Code is combined with a Card Salt (announced after the card is revealed) to generate a Card Hash. By comparing this result to the Published Hash in Advance, you can independently verify that the card's value remained unaltered from the start.
Verify Merkle Root
to check the card position
A Merkle root is a single cryptographic hash that represents the combined Card Hash of the entire Shoe. If the Computed Merkle Root is matched with Published Merkle Root in Advance, that means that the card position is not altered.
