The game of Baccarat is well known gambling game and it is played all over the world. Baccarat is a card game of Italian origin that was introduced to France many years ago. There are two very popular forms of this game that have been developed through the years: Chemin de Fer and Baccarat. The most significant difference between these two forms is that in Chemin de Fer 2 hands are dealt and in Baccarat are dealt 3 hands. The value of the ace is 1, the cards from 2 to 9 have each the value of their face, and the tens, jacks, queens and kings are each 0 points. A hand is evaluated as sum, but only the last digit on the total is counted. The goal of the game is to be as closest to 8 or 9 as possible with two cards or as close as possible to 9 with three cards. After that the higher hand wins. The game of Baccarat became popular in public casinos all over the Europe. At the present time the game is well known in the USA, London, France, Germany, etc.
