Baccarat

Baccarat is a very popular table card game played in both offline and online casinos throughout Europe and around the world. There are three different types of baccarat games - Baccarat Banque, Baccarat Chemin de Fer or Punto Banco. Among these, the most popular around the world, Punto Banco is a pure game of chance that is not about strategy or skill at all. Each player's turn is determined by their respective cards.

On the other hand, both the player and the dealer at Baccarat Banque and Baccarat Chemin De Fer have to make choices, which adds a certain level of skill factor to the game. Although the odds of winning are usually to the dealer's or bank's advantage, neither of these two baccarat variants has the house edge below 1%. Basically, Baccarat can be described as a comparative card game played between the banker and the player's hands. Each game and baccarat can have three possible outcomes: a draw, a banker, or the player (with higher scores). The first traces of the baccarat card game are found in France from the 19th century. But many similar games like Gabo Japgi, Oicho Kabu, and Macao have also been played before.
