Baccarat in the movies

[Luc151]

Have you ever seen anyone in the movies playing Baccarat other than James Bond?

[KorbinD]

That is a very tough question, I've only seen it in james bond movies as well.

I guess maverick and honeymoon in vegas got baccarat too. I am not sure I need recap for that. Barracat is also one of my favorite casino game.

[cyrusharo]

I am not sure about it nichotyle. I guess casino royale so far. I haven't seen movies playing barracat since casino royale 007.

come to think about it i have not seen baccarat being played. it is always poker or blackjack. wonder why this is so!

[girlygirl]

Ive never seen a movie playing baccarat games,but i heard that in James Bond movie its been played. Hopefully i can play baccarat one day either in casino or online.

I think you see it in the background when they feature casinos in movies or on TV. But other than james bond, cant seem to recall others.

I remember Chris Tucker joining a Baccarat table in Rush Hour 3... Hehe funny movie!

[Catch22]

Ahhh... James Bond. He made Baccarat popular just like martinis... the shaken, not stirred kind!

[Jagged33]

I don't enjoy baccarat and I only know of one friend who knows how to play. maybe james bond didnt do his job... :D

[city_girl]

I saw it in RUSH HOUR 3, the scenes take place in France.

The game was actually invented in Italy and then du**** the reign of Charles VIII, it was introduced in France. It's actually known as being a game of simplicity and elegance. Therefore, to maintain baccarat status as being a game for high rollers, the tables are usually placed in more secluded rooms or surrounded by velvet ropes. It adds to the appeal and explains why it's not very commonly seen in movies. Frank Sinatra, co- owner of the Sands casino at one point, actually helped to spread the popularity of baccurat in Vegas, amongst high rollers.

Today,in order to get more people playing baccarat, many casinos in the USA offer the game called mini baccarat which can be played on a regular table, like blackjack and the game has lower stakes.
