The future of baccarat is so bright, it’s giving me a headache. That’s why I love the game. It’s a classic. The big question is whether a classic will still be a classic in 50 years, when the average age of an American is in the 50’s.
I’ll answer that question for you, for just $5,000,000.
How do I make that much money off you? By telling you which company is going to make it.
First, I’m going to give you a little background on the baccarat industry.
In the early days of บาคาร่า , the game was played on a table of two decks of cards. In the early 1960’s, the French made the game easier by allowing three decks of cards and putting them in separate small boxes to be used as the game pieces. Since then the game has been further changed so that there is no “house” or dealer.
This is also when the game started becoming big in the United States. The shift was made by a man named John Spiros. Spiros wanted to change the game to make it more exciting. The changes Spiros made included:
Cutting the bank down to just one deck of cards
Removing the standard game rules (such as a player having to hit a certain minimum number of cards)
Using silver-plated or gold-plated tables
Lines on the tables to help make the game more exciting
Gold-plated chips
Appointing the guy who makes the rules as the “Rules Councillor”
Laying out the game so that if you were dealt 10 and 10 you would be required to surrender if you wanted to hit
In the end, of all the changes, the most famous one is the hole cut into the table. In the original rules there was a hole in the table between the decks of cards. If you bet on red or black and won, you got to go under the hole to be able to look at your card. Spiros thought this was too much of a temptation for his customers. He figured if they were going to gamble they might as well do it at their own risk. After all, the only thing the house did was take a cut. The player who lost, however, didn’t have the same option.
Spiros’s idea got a lot of people talking about the game. The thought of being able to see your card before you decided to hit it was amazing. It was also a way to make the game more exciting. Everyone talked about it. Some people even called it a revolutionary idea.
But the casino business is different than most other businesses. When it comes down to a decision, they’ll usually make the decision that will bring in the most money.
