baccarat
Punto banco variant
Baccarat is a casino card game where players bet on whether the "player" or "banker" hand will have a point total closer to nine.
Face cards and tens count as zero, and only the last digit of a total matters.
The game requires no skill—players simply place bets and watch the dealer draw cards according to fixed rules.
The high rollers were at the baccarat table.
James Bond famously plays baccarat in several novels and films.
