I'm not sure that I totally understand this game, but will practice and see how it goes. I've been interested in trying this game ever since that whole Phil Ivey scandal. Kudos to @CRStals for these great series. It really is opening up a whole new world for me beyond poker.
I knew absolutely nothing about baccarat.
To tell the truth, I always imagined it was a variant of poker.
It seemed like a really fun game that doesn't require much calculation or concentration.
Good to play while having some cocktails. š

Itās a good game for first-time players. However, I doubt that those with experience of casino gaming would be willing to spend their money on games like this. That said, I think itās generally a good way to have a bit of fun for players who are used to relying on their intuition.
I never understood the game as my only exposure to it was through the James Bond movies (where ridiculous sums were won or lost on a single handš¤£), nice to have a basic understanding now of what is actually a simple game - thanks for the guide!
Never played the game in my life. After reading the tutorial I think I can manage to play. Just trying to remember all of this could be my biggest challange when getting started. After playing for a few days , weeks , months (š) I'm sure the "Banker takes a card if" rules like this copy paste will be memorized.

- If the Player's hand has a value between Zero and Five, the dealer will deal a third card to the player's hand
- The delaer will draw a third card for the Banker's hand using more complicated rules. Below are the situations based on the banker's hand having a value of:
Zero to Two - Banker ALWAYS gets a third card
Three - Banker draws if the Player's third card is anything BUT an Eight
Four - Banker draws if the Player's third card falls between Two and Seven
Five - Banker draws if the Player's third card falls beteween Four and Seven
Six - Banker draws if the Player's third card is either a Six or Seven
Seven to Nine - Banker stands - If a hand equals Ten or more, the first digit is dropped, so Twelve is scored as a Two
- The hand closest to Nine wins.
Peace

I also used to think that this is a type of poker. And I thought that everything was very complicated. But in fact the game is not complicated, especially if you take into account the explanations that you provided in this learning series. I think this is definitely more than enough to start with š
I have never played Baccarat. I have only watched others play a few times, and the game was completely incomprehensible to me. But, thanks to such a wonderful instruction, I already have an understanding of the basics of the game and I think that now I will be able to play it on my own. Cool š
I used to avoid playing baccarat. I thought it was a rather complicated and difficult game to understand. But after reading this material and understanding the basic basics, I have already tried it several times. The game is interesting, and to my surprise, very exciting, but at the same time it requires certain knowledge and definitely requires experience.
I was only aware of baccarat because of James Bond movies, and after reading this description it seems mind-numbingly boring. With no decision inflection points it is just a gussied-up version of pure gambling : you might as well just flip coins or cut cards. Poker is a game of skill and strategy with a gambling element and I have no interest in pure gambling games. Seems like it could be made much better with the simple alteration of allowing a player to choose whether to take another card, like in blackjack.
I agree that baccarat is one of the easiest casino games for beginners to understand. The rules are simple, and you don't have to make many decisions during a hand.
That said, Iām always a bit cautious with betting systems like Martingale and Fibonacci. They can make the session more interesting, but they don't change the house edge, and a long losing streak can get expensive very quickly. Iād rather set a fixed budget, keep my bets reasonable, and avoid chasing losses.
For me, the simplicity is what makes baccarat enjoyable. You can focus more on the game itself without having to learn a complicated strategy. šš
