Baccarat

Baccarat (Bah-Caw-Rah) is an Italian reference to "zero". The classy-sounding monicker and allusions to high-style, tuxedoed James Bond types is no coincidence: baccarat is believed to have originated in Italy shortly before the turn of the 16th century, and had been claimed by the French nobility as their favorite game.

Baccarat todays remains hugely popular all over the European casinos. In no time, the game spread and spawned North and South American versions. Cuban baccarat has emerged as the game's most widespread variation, and is what can be likeliest found at the casino tables.
