Baccarat is one of the oldest and most popular casino card games around the world, and it is no different in Latvia. Whether it's the simplicity of the rules, the excitement of the action, or the fact that it's one of the most popular games in transnational crime syndicates, baccarat is one of the most popular live casino games in Latvia. Baccarat is generally played with six to eight decks of 52 cards, and it's possible to wager on the Player's hand, the Bank's hand, or a Tie between both hands. The object of the game is to have a hand total that is as close to nine as possible, as the nearest to nine is the winner.
