History

. If she rolled anything less than a 6, she was to throw herself into the ocean and drown. The game appeared in France around 1500, where it was played by the nobility. The game was illegal, so it was played in secret. Soon the game was legalized and taxed, with the money raised going to help the poor. During the time of Napoleon, it was again made illegal, only to be re-legalized once again, after which its popularity exploded. Suddenly everyone in France wanted to learn and play Baccarat. Baccarat was also growing in popularity in England. What really brought the game into the public eye was a scandal surrounding Queen Victoria's son, when his friend found himself in serious trouble due to Baccarat. Suddenly, people all over the country began to play the game, mostly just to have fun, while some played to make money. Finally, in the 20th Century, Baccarat reached America.
