Section 82: Baccarat
Perhaps only rookies like them, who are new to the casino, will observe those glittering designs. If you are an old gambler, I am afraid that you will already be on the table to gamble.
But if you take a serious look at these beautiful designs, it is also a rare enjoyment. Lu Xiaobai promised Tan Yanqiu that he would only watch and not gamble, so these dazzling and atmospheric decorations were also part of his appreciation.
Visiting a casino with the mood of not gambling, I'm afraid that very few people can really do it.
The design of the casino, the decoration of the casino, all the elements that can be utilized, are all to retain gamblers and let them enjoy the fun of gambling.
Therefore, Lu Xiaobai and the two looked at it and saw the gambling table. No way, after entering the casino, you can't keep looking at the ceiling, right? Even if it's full of flowers, there are times when you get tired of looking at it. And the gambling table is also very lively, from time to time someone shouts, very attractive.
Lu Xiaobai pulled Tan Yanqiu to the nearest gaming table, which was an irregular oval. There was a gap on one side, and there was a staff member who specialized in dealing cards, and I thought it was a dealer. The other three sides of the table were filled with tourists, but there were only nine chairs next to the table, and the extra tourists were all gathered around and watched others gamble.
Lu Xiaobai didn't understand what this thing was, he only saw that these people were only dealt two or three cards, and then they turned over the size.
When he looked at a few handfuls, he found a little bit of pattern. The odds seem to be calculated on a '0' to '9' basis, with all face cards and 10s counting as the smallest '0', aces counting as '1' and the rest of the '2' to '9' being their respective codes.
In the case of a flop ratio, the numbers of the two cards are added up, and only the single digit is used as the face value. For example, 5+9=14, the final value of these two cards is 4, not 5 or 9.
After watching it for a while, Lu Xiaobai felt that it was not interesting. Isn't it just about size, what's so fun about it? Brother played this kind of gambling when he was very young, and it was all a matter of luck, or to see if the dealer would shuffle the cards, which was not interesting.
It's no wonder that Lu Xiaobai is so dirty, he has been buried under the ocean base for too long, and he doesn't know anything about the most popular gambling in the world now.
The gambling method in front of them is called baccarat.
Baccarat originated in Europe and is one of the oldest games in European history. However, the rules at that time were different from the rules now, and the modern gameplay was simpler and more scientific, without so many messy additional rules.
Baccarat is currently recognized as the most civilized and fair entertainment in the world. The game is simple, whoever has the closest number to '9' in the sum of the two cards wins. As Lu Xiaobai just saw, the cards printed with the portrait and the word '10' are counted as '0' points, and then add up to compare the size.
Playing baccarat generally uses three to eight cards, each with fifty-two cards, not the king and the king. When playing, shuffle all the cards together and place them in the dealer's box, from which the dealer deals the cards to the gambler.
The Banker and Player will receive at least two cards, but no more than three. The first and third cards are dealt to the 'Player', and the second and fourth cards are dealt to the 'Banker'. As for whether to play a card or not, it is decided according to the rules of the game.
Gamblers, on the other hand, are free to choose their bets according to the size of their points.
As mentioned above, in the process of playing, there will be a distinction between 'Zhuang' and 'Leisure'.
This is mainly to distinguish the parties to the game, will be set up banker, player, and pairs four doors, and some casinos have their own unique betting methods, such as size, banker double, banker single, player double, player single. There is no specific meaning here, but only represents both sides of the game.
'Tie' and 'Pair' are a lottery set up to increase the entertainment, and customers can choose Banker, Player, Tie Pair or any other bet according to their own ideas.
There is no strict number of people when playing baccarat, except for the small table of 9 people and the large table of 14 people provide 9 and 14 chairs respectively, the rest of the spectators can also stand next to the table and freely choose the betting point to place bets freely.
However, when the banker and the player bet on both sides of the bet exceeds the limit of the table, the dealer will bet on the betting area of the dealer and the player, the player, the pair and the dealer on the dealer's money, commonly known as the number of bonuses. to indicate that the limit amount is exceeded at that table, which is clearly indicated at the top of each table.
If there is exceedance, the dealer will let the customer reduce the bet to the limit amount before the game can be opened. In addition to setting a maximum limit, each table also has a minimum bet amount, which is not something that can be played for a penny or a dime.
If a player feels that the banker and player have the same number of points, regardless of the winner or loser, he can bet on the 'tie' game, and if the player feels that either or both of the banker and the player will have a pair of cards, such as a pair of 4s or a pair of queens, they can bet on the 'pair' game.
Of course, when betting on pairs, while both a 'j' and a 'q' count as '0' points, they do not count as a 'pair'.
In addition, the banker or player has the right to designate any seat with bets or the dealer to reveal the hole cards, and the standing bettor cannot reveal the hole cards.
After the cards are opened, it is the time to decide the winner, that is, to lose money. The first two cards determine the pair, and then the final result appears according to the poker rules, and the number of TV cards determines the banker, player win or tie, which includes the occurrence of a third card.
If the player's bet is '8' or '9', it is a natural card, which determines the winner of the banker's bet.
The game of baccarat looks simple, but in the process of playing, there are many tricks, or valuable experience summed up by gamblers themselves.
For example, when you see a long and long single jump, you will win a laugh, and when you see two villages and two idle double jumps, you will play and draw, and the dead hole is a single, double, single, and one-legged jump. This method can be carried out by flat bets, and can also be combined with the use of the staking method; You can start at the beginning of a shoe or cut in the middle.
There is a mantra in the flat note method: see Zhuang and Zhuang, see idle and idle, see jump and jump, lose three pauses, lose five win six, stop at five five.
Of course, these so-called mantras are only based on the experience of long-term laws. Since it's experience, there's no guarantee that you'll win. In the casino, except for the owner who opened the casino, he only won and did not lose, and no one was undefeated.
Even if he is a world-class gambling god, he can only say that his odds of winning cards are greater than the average person, and there is no guarantee that every hand will win.
Therefore, those so-called experience formulas are just tricks made up to bluff people in order to enhance the fun of play.
Lu Xiaobai has never played baccarat, so in his opinion, this is a bit bigger than the size. There are big, small, and and, just these three, whoever has the big card will win.
