Baccarat has become increasingly popular in America; virtually every casino from Nevada to Atlantic City has at least one baccarat table. And layouts in some casinos have minimum bets as low as $5, though most have $20 minimums. Baccarat is not a difficult game to master, but it contains many nuances of play. John Patrick explains these subtleties to help turn players into winners. As in other table games the baccarat player must adhere to an exacting discipline: players must have a sufficient bankroll to withstand a losing trend, must know how to manage money, and must have reliable knowledge of the game. A clear and concise key to the game, John Patrick`s Baccarat analyzes trends: when to wager on player or banker or bet on a tie. Once readers learn the secrets of walking away with the casino`s money, they may never play any other game.
