EZ Baccarat

 

The object of the game is to make a choice on which hand, Player or Banker, will end up with a point value closest to nine (9).EZ Baccarat plays the same way as regular baccarat except that it eliminates the commission on the Banker Line wagers and replaces it by “barring” one specific winning Bank hand as follows.  The winning bank hand consisting of three (3) cards and totaling seven (7) points.  The appearance of this hand is known as the “Dragon 7”. 

 

The value of each hand is determined by totaling the sum of the cards.  An Ace has a value of 1, the 2 through 9 are face value and the 10, Jack, Queen, and King have a value of 0.  The total value of the hand is the last digit when the values of the cards are added.  Ex. 9 + 7 = 16 and 6 is the value of the hand.  

 

Customers may place a wager(s) on Player, Banker or Tie (Base Game Wager) or a combination of the above.  Players that have placed a Base Game Wager may also place a “Dragon 7” bet (three (3) card winning Bank hand totaling seven (7) points).  All wagers must be between the table minimum and table maximum.  The Dragon 7 wager can be from table minimum to a maximum of the player’s base wager bet.
