Best casino card game ever. Originated in France or Italy around the early renaissance. Baccarat is the favourite game of the highest of high rollers.

It's real simple, two hands are dealt and you bet which one will win (player or bank), or that they will tie. The hand with the highest count wins. The highest score that can be achieved is 9 (natural) as it is a single digit game. For example 6 + 8 =14 =4.

Has the BEST player advantage of all casino games.
