betfred slotsMany believe that baccarat originated in Italy around the 15th century, developed by an Italian card player named Felix Falguiere. The game was originally played with a deck of 40 cards, and the goal of the game was to get a total score as close to 9 as possible. However, according to some studies, early baccarat players would not use regular cards, but instead used number cards from 1 to 9. The game was called “baccarat,” which means “0” in Italian, since all cards with a value of 10 or higher were counted as 0 points.
