Poker Hand Rankings
Baccarat (Punto Banco) is a standard casino card game where players bet on whether the 'Player' hand or 'Banker' hand will achieve a point total closest to 9, or on a Tie. Cards 2–9 are face value, 10s and face cards count as 0, and Aces count as 1. Fixed mathematical tableau rules dictate when a third card must be drawn.
Poker hand rankings define the universal hierarchy of 5-card hands in poker standards, ranging from Royal Flush (1 in 649,740) down to High Card. Flushes beat Straights, Full Houses beat Flushes, and Four of a Kind beats Full Houses. Ties are broken by the highest ranked cards within the combination, followed by kickers.
