The rules as to turning up with eight or nine, offering and accepting cards, and so on, are the same as Chemin de fer. Each punter continues to hold the cards for their side so long as they win or tie.

If they lose, the next hand is dealt to the player next following them in rotation. In each side, any player may "go bank", like in Chemin de fer. If two players on opposite sides desire to "go bank", each player bets half the bank.

A player going bank may either do so for as many times as they like until they lose, or as a cheval, i. on two hands separately, one-half of the stake being played upon each hand.

A player going bank and losing may go bank again, until they lose for the third time. A banker must play out one hand, but may retire at any time afterwards.

On retiring, they must state the amount they retire with. It is then open to any other player in order of rotation to continue the bank, starting with the same stake and dealing from undealt cards. The outgoing banker takes the place previously occupied by their successor.

Should the bank empty, the banker may freely put more money at stake without losing their right to bank. If all punters' bets exceed the bank stake, the banker does not need to put more money. In the event of their losing, the croupier pays the punters in order of rotation until the bank runs out of money.

The remainders are returned. The banker may, however, choose to accept the bets and increase their own stakes anyway. If they do so, the bank becomes unlimited and the banker must either cover all bets posted by all players or give up the bank.

David Parlett considers Macao as the immediate precursor to baccarat. Its notoriety led to King Victor-Amadeus III banning it in all his realms in The match in Arthur Schnitzler 's novella Night Games Spiel im Morgengrauen contains instructions for Macao under the name of baccarat.

Its popularity in the United States waned after the early 20th century. Macao uses two decks of cards shuffled together. Punters place their bets within the agreed limits against the banker. Initially, one card is dealt clockwise and face down to every player by the banker.

The punters' objective is to beat the banker's card value or risk losing their bet. In case of a tie, whoever has the same value with fewer cards wins. The banker wins if there is a tie in both value and number of cards in an early version, all bets are off.

Any punter who receives a natural 9 receives triple the amount of the bet as long as the banker does not have a natural 9 too.

Winning with a natural 8 awards double while winning with a 7 or under is only equal to the bet. Players can request additional cards which are dealt face up; if it is a ten or a face card , they can reject it and ask for another.

In an early version of this game, going over 9 with extra cards amounts to a "bust" as in blackjack , [2] later versions use modulo 10 arithmetic as in the other games. Beating the banker with a pair only awards an equal amount to the bet.

When the deck is exhausted, the player to the banker's left becomes the new banker. Victoria is a variation of Macao where players are initially dealt two cards. Like Macao and baccarat, it was banned in Russia during the 19th century [31] though the rules continued to be printed in game books.

The Tranby Croft affair in and disgraced socialite William Gordon Cumming 's subsequent lawsuit were known together as the royal baccarat scandal , due to the involvement of the future King Edward VII.

Since the Prince of Wales was involved in the incident, it inspired a huge amount of media interest in the game, bringing baccarat to the attention of the public at large. Accounts of the scandal in newspapers also included the rules for the game. In the Richard Lester comedy A Hard Day's Night , Paul McCartney 's "grandfather" John played by Wilfrid Brambell steals an invite to a posh casino intended for the band, and has a run of luck at a baccarat table despite appearing not to know how to play the game; at one point, upon winning a bet, he yells "Bingo," to which the croupier corrects him, thinking he meant to proclaim "Banco.

Baccarat chemin-de-fer is the favoured game of James Bond , the fictional secret agent created by Ian Fleming. No , where Bond is first introduced while playing the game in film; Thunderball ; the version of Casino Royale , which is the most detailed treatment of a baccarat game in any Bond film; On Her Majesty's Secret Service ; For Your Eyes Only ; and GoldenEye.

In the movie adaptation of Casino Royale , baccarat is replaced by Texas hold 'em poker , largely due to the poker boom at the time of filming. In 's Rush Hour 3 , main characters James Carter and Geneviève first meet playing baccarat in a casino in Paris.

Initially, Carter can not afford to play, but Geneviève covers for him. Unsure of the rules of the game, Carter first asks for an extra card as if it was blackjack , and then thinks that he has a good hand 3 kings , not knowing that he instead has zero points. The dealer explains the situation, and Geneviève wins.

The French heist film Bob le flambeur features a climactic sequence in which the protagonist begins gambling as a heist is taking place. He encounters extraordinary luck playing chemin de fer, which leads him to lose track of time.
