Some people say, that Baccarat was first played over 2000 years ago in China and Egypt, it's more current version was presented in France around the late 1400's.  Baccarat is known around the world as a high rollers table game, in America first it was played in 1959 in a Las Vegas, Nevada Casino.

The game Baccarat is pronounced Back-a-rah, being a simple game with only three possible results - 'Player', 'Banker' and 'Tie'. The term 'Player' does not refer to the customer and the term 'Banker' does not refer to the house, they are just options on which the customer can bet. In Baccarat any score of 10 is worth 0 (or 'Baccarat'). The highest score that can be achieved is 9, two picture cards would have a score of 0, a 9 and a 6 would not equal 15 but 5. (Minus the first digit) An ace counts as 1 and the rest of the cards keep their face value.
