Here is the "411" on how to play baccarat @ GoldenCasino.Com:

When starting the Baccarat game for the first time the Baccarat table is empty – no cards or wagers are on the table, and the default wager amount ($5) will show as active.

You now decide how much you want to wager, and what bet you want to play and then place your wager(s) on the table. To place a wager on any of these bets, simply left click on the table to increase the size of your bet and right click to decrease.

Once you have completed placing your wager(s), you can start the game by clicking on the DEAL button. The banker deals two cards to the player, and two cards to the banker, and then turns the cards face up.

After receiving their initial two cards, if the value of the cards in either the Player's Hand or the Banker's Hand is an 8 or a 9 (called a NATURAL), then no more cards shall be dealt to either hand.

If the value of the cards in the Banker's hand on the first two cards is 0 to 7 inclusive, the Player's hand shall draw in accordance with the Third Card rules.

When the Player's hand is completed, then the Banker's hand is played out. Once the banker's hand is complete, the Player’s hand is compared to the Banker's hand and win(s) , loss(es) or tie(s) are determined and your casino account balance is adjusted accordingly.

To play again, simply click on the DEAL button.

To aid your baccarat strategy, our casino software maintains a history. A list of the previous wins is displayed on the left hand side of the screen. Wins by the Banker are indicated by the letter B, wins by you the Player are indicated by the letter P, and ties are indicated by the letter T. Consecutive wins by either the Banker or the Player are displayed in the same row.
