Baccarat has gained prominence as a favorite card game for many casino-goers over the years. The player competes against the dealer by aiming to form a hand with a point value closer to 9 than the dealer.
History
Baccarat originated in Italy in the 15th century before spreading to France and other countries over the centuries. Today, it’s wildly popular in the poker room.
Rules

two cards is also determined by the total value of their cards, and whether the player has drawn a card.
