It's a very interesting game. I read once in "How I lost a million dollars", but never checked for myself, that publicly traded casinos list Baccarat on their SEC fillings as a possible way their earnings can be affected (both positively and negatively). In the book the author was with a wealthy client who gave him and his friend $10k to play with. They each won something like $8k each and proceeded to enjoy Las Vegas with it. (Numbers are fuzzy. Corrections are welcome.)
