Pronounced “bah-ca-rah”, Baccarat is known as the most glamorous of all the casino games. It’s not the type of game you play while wearing torn $20 jeans from Wal-mart and a Grateful Dead t-shirt; it’s the type of game you play while wearing a tuxedo and sipping Martinis. Hey if there’s only one thing you get out of this article it’s this: Baccarat is the choice game of one James Bond and lets face it – Jame Bond is awesome.

Of course, the advent of online games has changed the face of Baccarat. Baccarat used to be a game with high betting minimums – $20 was the usual – however now you can play Baccarat for as low as $1. While some online casinos – like Vegas Days – like to stick to the tradition of high betting minimums($10), other casinos like Rushmore Casino allow you to play Baccarat for as low as a buck. For the same price as a cup of coffee, you too can hit up the Baccarat tables and pretend you’re one James Bond.

But, what exactly IS Baccarat?

Baccarat is a table game which can play host to a lot of players. Usually up to 15 people can participate in a game of Baccarat. Here is what a baccarat table looks like:

For all its glamor, Baccarat is one of the simplest forms of casino games. It’s one of those games where you can ultimately do no wrong – there’s no real form of Baccarat strategy or anything.

There is also no complicated form of Baccarat betting. It’s simple: the dealer will deal out two hands. Both hands are face down, and each contain two cards. You have three choices when it comes to betting: you can bet on hand #1 to beat hand #2, hand #2 to beat hand #1, or both hands to tie.

And that’s what Baccarat is. Really for all the glitz and glamor involved in Baccarat it’s really a very simple game. It may not seem like fun but trust me – it is. Head on over to the Baccarat practice tables at Rushmore Casino and you’ll see what I mean.
