Baccarat,
Chemin

Baccarat

Banque,
Mini
Baccarat
Baccarat
is
a
game
that
has
been
around
for
quite
a
while,
and
has
evolved
to
popular
game
in
a
number
of
countries
around
the
world.
It
is
not
surprising
then,
that
there
are
a
few
commonly
played
variations
of
the
game.
Here
are
a
few
of
the
most
notable
ones...
Mini
Baccarat
This
one's
easy.
The
rules
and
house
edge
of
Mini
Baccarat
are
exactly
the
same
as
American
Baccarat.
The
only
differences
are
a
couple
of
small
cosmetic
ones...
-
Table
minimums
are
usually
$5
to
$10
rather
than
than
$25
to
$50,
making
the
game
more
accessible
to
non-high
rollers;
-
The
speed
of
the
game
is
very
fast
and
is
controlled
totally
by
the
dealer.
(In
traditional
Baccarat
there
is
player
participation
in
the
deal);
-
The
game
is
played
on
a
smaller,
blackjack
sized
tables.
Mini
Baccarat
is
very
common
now
in
traditional
casinos,
and
is
also
the
form
of
baccarat
offered
by
online
casinos.
European
Baccarat
European
Baccarat
has
a
few
key
differences
in
rules...
-
The
player
has
the
option
of
standing
or
drawing
on
5.
-
The
banker
(dealer
controlled)
always
has
an
option
on
whether
to
draw
a
third
card,
although
in
practice
the
decision
to
draw
or
not
will
generally
follow
the
rules
of
traditional
Baccarat.
-
Betting
on
the
bank
to
win
incurs
a
5%
charge
of
the
winnings
on
each
bet.
Baccarat
en
Banque
The
rules
of
Baccarat
en
Banque
are
very
similar
to
those
of
European
Baccarat,
with
notable
exceptions...
-
One
player
and
two
banker
hands
are
dealt.
-
The
players
are
allowed
to
bet
on
either
or
both
of
the
player
hands,
but
never
on
the
dealer's
(banker)
hand
-
As
in
European
baccarat,
the
banker
(dealer
controlled)
always
has
an
option
on
whether
to
draw
a
third
card,
although
in
practice
the
decision
to
draw
or
not
will
generally
follow
the
rules
of
American
Baccarat.
Chemin
de
Fer
Chemin
de
Fer
is
French
for
'railroad'
and
refers
to
the
shoe
moving
among
the
players
like
a
train.
-
As
suggested
above,
the
bank
rotates
among
the
players.
-
The
player
has
the
option
of
either
standing
or
drawing
on
five.
-
The
play
of
the
banker
is
optional.
-
The
house
plays
the
role
of
a
broker
and
collects
a
fee
from
the
winnings
of
each
banker
(no
risk
involved
for
the
house).
