Baccarat en Banque

This variation of Baccarat you can find in some European casinos. The goal of the game is the same - to get as close to 9 as possible, but the difference is that only the house plays the role of banker (the bank is operated by a casino employee).

In other versions of the game (Classic or Chemin de Fer) the player with the most money is usually declared the banker or the deal rotates among the players by passing the shoe counterclockwise around the table, and each "Player" alternate being the "Banker".

Since the Casino is a Banker, the bets can be much larger than when another player is acting as the bank. Also, the game can be played with as few as one player (in Chemin de Fer there must be two players at least to players to start the game).

One bank hand and two player hands are dealt, instead of one
The players are allowed to bet on one or both of the player hands, but never on the dealer's hand
The bank is operated by a casino employee
There are no particular rules as to whether the dealer stands or draws, it's completely optional. Sometimes, the dealer will follow the American rules; other times he will alter them to enhance his winning chances
