BACCARAT

Baccarat
The Italian word "baccarat" means "zero" in English. Since the French "baccarat" means the same, even today there are many debates pertaining to the
origin of the game and each country wants to claim it as theirs.
And here is one of these versions: the game was first invented by an Italian gambler Felix Falguierein in the middle ages and first was played with a deck
of Tarot cards.
They say that the game " ...was based on an old Etruscan ritual of the nine gods, who prayed to a blonde virgin on their tiptoes waiting for her to throw a
nine-sided die. The result of the die decided her fate. If an eight or a nine was thrown, she would become the priestess; if she threw a six or seven, she
would be banned from any further religious activities; if she threw any number less than six, she would walk into the sea."
Throughout the centuries, and in all the centuries in which it was introduced, baccarat was known as a game for aristocrats. The high betting requirements
and the secluded baccarat rooms meant that, while many people enjoyed watching James Bond play baccarat in the movies, few people actually played
the game themselves.
