Baccarat (also known as Baccara) is a popular card game that draws a large number of players to casinos in Asia.
Baccarat has been popular among the French elite since the nineteenth century - before the regulation of casino gambling in 1907, people in France used to play Baccarat in private gaming rooms during the Napoleonic era.
Unlike Blackjack, in Baccarat players are not given such a great choice of variations and bets to choose from. Actually, the three main bets in Baccarat are Player, Banker, and a Tie. The game also allows side bets to be made but their availability varies from casino to casino.
