The deal passes clockwise around the table between the betting parties, though players can elect to pass the shoe.
Any number of players can bet on the outcome of each hand, choosing either to bet that the Player hand or the Banker hand will be closer to nine. One hand is called the Player hand and one hand is called the Banker hand. In Baccarat, two hands are dealt of two cards each, from a shoe, usually filled with eight decks of cards.
