Players pick out regardless of whether to bet on the “Player” or “Banker” hand, then sit back even though the dealer does the rest.
It was Louis XV who first ordered the opening of a glassworks in Baccarat.
As with punto banco, if neither the players nor banker has an eight or 9, they can make a decision irrespective of whether to accept or refuse a third card ahead of the hands are compared and wagers paid out.
