For those of us that learn better by watching than by reading alone, we offer the following mini-baccarat instructions for your instruction. Make sure your speakers are on then enjoy the lesson!
How The Deal Works:Mini baccarat begins with both the player(s) and dealer receiving two cards each on an alternating deal (one at a time for each position). When either hand scores an eight or nine, it is referred to as a "Natural", no more cards are dealt. A draw occurs when both players receive this score on the initial deal. Should both the player and the dealer fail to get a Natural, additional cards are dealt based on certain rules. These rules can be tricky to memorize, but as the player doesn't have to make any decisions it's not really necessary - the dealer will take care of everything after each bet. |

After the initial deal, the player will "stand" on a 6 or a 7, but will receive another card on a point total of zero through five.
If the Bank has a point total between zero to five and the player stands, they must take an additional card. Regardless of the players total the bank must stand on a six or seven - see the above table for the particulars.
