Baccarat (
Points are scored by adding up the values of each card in the hand. Cards numbered 2 through 9, as well as any picture or face cards, count as zero points. The ace counts as one point, and the remaining cards are valued according to their number or their face value. When the total crosses nine or enters a double digit, the second digit is added to the first.
Baccarat is played in casinos around the world, and has long been a popular game for upper class patrons in Europe. It is often considered a glamorous game, and is played for large sums of money. The table for baccarat is usually set in an alcove away from the casino crowds and the games of the mass audience, with green felt covering it and a layout marked with numbered areas where bets are placed. The game was a favorite of James Bond, the fictional British secret agent created by Ian Fleming, who featured it in several novels and film adaptations.
