Baccarat has a long history in the casino, dating back to the mid-19th century. It has been played in many of the world's most famous casinos, including Monaco's iconic Monte Carlo Casino. In the 1950s, it gained popularity in Europe and eventually made its way to the United States. The game has endured over the years, and is still one of the most popular casino games today.
 
Baccarat entered in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century, when it quickly gained popularity as a casino game. It was first only accessible to wealthy players in upscale VIP rooms, but soon it opened up to more people.

Tommy Renzoni brought baccarat to the Sands Casino in Las Vegas in the 1950s. Renzoni slightly altered the game's rules, leading to the development of "American baccarat."
