Baccarat, also known as Punto Banco, is a game of skill and chance that has been popular for centuries. It is believed to have originated in Italy in the 15th century and has since spread to casinos around the world.
Baccarat is a card game, usually played with a standard 52-deck of playing cards. It is a game between two sides: the "banker" and the "player". The goal is to guess which side will receive the higher total value of cards, without exceeding 9. Each round has three possible outcomes—win, tie, or loss—and players can bet on any of those outcomes. Baccarat has a low house edge, compared to other casino games, and is considered to be one of the most exciting casino games to play.
