Baccarat is a very popular card game which originated in Italy during the medieval times, and "zero" in Italian implies that face cards and 10 - which are big point cards in many games - all count as 0 points in Baccarat. Players can bet on which side's total points (either "Player" or "Banker") will be closest to 9 points, or players can bet on a tie. Nowadays, Baccarat is a game favored by many super gambling kings!
