Baccarat
Quiz Answers:
1) A.
8 Decks are held in the shoe.
2) B.
The answer is Number 9, Number 9, Number 9.
3) C.
Cards, 2 through 9, count as their face value. 10’s
and face cards count as 10. Aces
count
as 1. If the count is more than 9, the last digit of the total is used.
So, if the hand has a Jack (10) and a 7, then it
totals
not 17, but 7.
4) A.
5%. Remember, when you are finished playing, this
commission is payable.
5) C.
At 14% Casino
Advantage, this is not a recommended bet.
6) B.
Bank will win approx. 38 times, Player: 36 wins, and 8
ties.
7) B.
Cards more favorable to the bank hand are King, Queen
and Jack.
8) A. Cards more favorable to the player
hand are 2, 3, and
4. Ace, 6 and 8 are
neutral. Bank hands
win more because the bank stands on a 7, 8 or 9, while player stands on 6, 7, 8 and 9. Bank can
draw on a 6 where
player cannot. Ahh, now, there’s the rub.
9) C.
Punto means Player—that’s you and I.
10) B.
The French term La Grande means a Natural Nine. May
all your Baccarat hands be ‘Grande’
