Baccarat is a card game that dates back to the late 17th century in Italy and still remains a popular source of entertainment in Bolivia today. While it may have become a popular casino game centuries ago in Europe, the game of baccarat has grown to become a mainstay of South American casinos.
In Bolivia, this classic card game is one of the more popular casino games. It has often been portrayed in movies and used as a plot point in various storylines. The nostalgia and mystique surrounding the game as well as its status as a classic game makes it particularly attractive to Bolivian gamblers.
Popular venues for playing baccarat in Bolivia include luxurious standalone casinos as well as hot spots inside popular hotels. Across Bolivia, from Santa Cruz to Cochabamba to even La Paz, baccarat is one of the more popular and sought after casino games.
