Cards: number of decks, value. Point count of hand

(1) Baccarat-chemin de fer shall be played with at least six (6) decks of cards having backs of the same colour and design and two additional yellow or green cutting cards. (2) The value of the cards in each deck shall be as follows– (a) any card from 2 to 9 shall have its face value; (b) any Ten, Jack, Queen or King shall have a value of zero; (c) any ace shall have a value of one. (3) The “point count” of a hand shall be a single digit number from 0 to 9 inclusive and shall be determined by totalling the value of cards in the hand. If the total of the cards in a hand is a two-digit number, the left digit of such number shall be discarded having no value and the right digit shall constitute the point count of the hand. Examples of this rule are as follows– (a) a hand composed of an ace, a 2 and a 4 has a (b) a hand composed of an ace, a 2 and a 9 has a total of 12 but only a point count of 2 since the digit 1 in the number 12 is discarded.
