Baccarat, the game of elegance and chance, has captivated casino enthusiasts in Canada for decades. Originating in Italy during the 15th century, this card game quickly gained popularity among the French nobility before spreading across Europe. Today, it remains a staple in both land-based and online casinos worldwide.
In Baccarat, players aim to predict which hand will have a higher total value: the Player's or the Banker's. The game is played with six to eight decks of cards, each assigned specific point values. Cards numbered two through nine are worth their face value, while tens and face cards carry no point value. Aces are counted as one point.
