The History of the Baccarat Game

Some studies have traced the origin of baccarat in the middle ages. A game known as Tarrochi was believed to be the ancestor game of baccarat. This game was said to be invented by a well-known Italian gambler named Felix Falguierein, and is played using a deck of Tarrot cards.

Another theory suggests that baccarat is based from a ritual of the Etrusci civilization. This ritual determines the fate of a virgin with blonde hair by throwing a nine-sided die. The nine gods were supposed to strand tip-toed while praying to the blonde virgin as she throws the die. The result of an eight or nine throw will make her a priestess. Six or seven will ban her from any other religious activity. And finally, a throw resulting to a number less than six will put her to death.

During the last decade of the 15th century, the game of baccarat reached France and became a favorite of the French noble class. Baccarat remained an exclusive card game to the French nobility until it was allowed to be played in casinos centuries after. With this, the popularity of baccarat has reached every stratum of the French society that is common to see a game of baccarat being played in the streets, cafes, and in royal courts.

Baccarat found its way to England when a French version of baccarat, the "Chemin de Fer", became popular among English people. Later, they changed some of the rules and the name of "Chemin De Fer" into "European Baccarat". After some time, baccarat spread in South America and became so popular, especially in the casinos of Havana Cuba.

It was in 1950s when the Cuban government closed the casinos in Havana that baccarat reached the United States of America. Tommy Renzoni introduced baccarat in the United States, and almost instantly, it became a hit in casinos, especially in the Dunes Casino. Some rules were also altered and they called it the "American Baccarat".

Nowadays, baccarat games are not limited in the casinos. Modern technology made baccarat available to every home via the Internet. Online baccarat is now ready to be downloaded and enjoyed in the comforts of one's home.

Indeed, baccarat serves as one of the vital foundations of the gaming world. Centuries have passed, but baccarat still remained as one of the most played and a favorite throughout several generations.
