Banker’s Hand
If the banker’s hand totals zero to two, a third card must be drawn regardless of the player’s hand.
If the banker’s hand totals three, banker does not draw the 3th card if the card on Player was 8.
If the total is four and the value of the player’s hand is two to seven then a third card is drawn.
If the total is five and the value of the player’s hand is four to seven then a third card is drawn.
If the total is six and the value of the player’s hand is six to seven then a third card is drawn. But only if the player’s total was made with three cards.
If the total is seven the banker must stand.
If the banker’s hand has a value of eight or nine then the banker and the player both stand.
Squeeze
If you place a bet on the Player or Banker at a Baccarat Control Squeeze table, you have the option to squeeze (or slowly reveal) the cards in the wagered hand yourself thanks to special animated overlay masks in the game interface. (The cards are dealt face-down onto glass panels set into the table. The card faces are captured by cameras under the table but obscured by the overlay masks, which the player can slowly peel back by clicking or tapping on the corner or edge of the card.) To increase the suspense, therefore, move your cursor over the cards while they are face down to slowly reveal their values. You can click/tap the cards in the competing hand to instantly reveal them. Squeezing is permitted only during a certain allotted time in each round.
