A game played by kings and gambling enthusiasts alike,
it became world famous at the end of the 19th century, when the Tranby Croft scandal caused unrest in Britain's high society. Prince Albert, later to be King Edward VII, played the then illegal game at a friend's country house. The friend cheated, which other participants noticed. The matter was brought to court, and keeping the royal family out of the eye of the public proved to be quite a challenge. It all became world news, and baccarat began its rise.
In the past baccarat used to be played mostly by high rollers. This has changed. Now that the game's available online, it has become popular with a very large audience. It's now part of the online gambling portfolio, and operators treat it accordingly, which means that they're trying to attract players with bonuses and special promotional offers as well. Competition among sites is very tough, so they're doing their best to make sure players stay with them and don't just move on.
It's a game of chance, but
