Baccarat for the Clueless

In the movies baccarat is played by smoothies like Sean Connery or Robert Redford (Indecent Proposal for obscenely high stakes. The stars and other players are togged out in evening dress, showing little emotion as fortunes are won and lost. Such games do exist in American casinos, but baccarat is played for a range of stakes. Nevada casinos have tables with minimum wagers of less than ten dollars. It is true that baccarat is the most elegant of casino games, which makes most casino visitors initially shy about participating. But this book will reassure the baccarat novice, for John May has written a simple, easy-to-understand approach to the table. The reader is shown how to get his feet wet, as it were, and then taught the nuances of the game. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
