Baccarat's history is said to go all the way back to medieval Italy.
The origins of the card game are debatable, but most believe it was created in the 1400s by a man named Felix Falguierein or Felix Falguiere.
This original version of baccarat was not played the same way it is today.
Cards were dealt by four dealers, each player could be the banker, and players could place bets against fellow players and against the house.
In today's game there is one dealer, bets are typically placed against the house, and the house also fills in the banker role.
From Italy, baccarat travelled to France, where it was known as Chemin de Fer, or "Chemmy".
As more time passed, baccarat cropped up in South America and in the Caribbean, where under the name of Punto Banco, it adapted to the local culture.
The main changes included the players playing against the house only, and the banker role being reserved solely for the casino.
