History and origins of Baccarat
The history of Baccarat is linked to an air of mystery and was originally a game played by international spies and gentleman killers. Its first origins date back to the 13th century in Italy though numerous sources show that it was also influenced by the Chinese game Pai Gow. The game travelled to France in the early 14th century by soldiers who returned there after the war. The game became popular amongst the social elite until the 18th century when King Louise Phillip declared it was illegal to play it.
