Baccarat became even more popular since the movie about the legendary British secret agent 007 was released. James Bond was a brilliant Baccarat player and he was enjoying the game in many movies. Long before we started to play and the law allowed the game, we all had the opportunity to watch James Bond’s playing. There were attractive elegantly dressed secret agents who were losing huge amounts of money in a twinkle. Although many of us probably saw the game for the first time in these movies, the game is older than Hollywood and Ian Fleming. Sean Connery enjoyed the game centuries after it was invented.

In February 1990, Akio Kashiwagi – a Japanese investor, also known as the “Warrior”, enjoyed the game of Baccarat in Trump Plaza Casino, Atlantic city.  He bet $ 200 000 a hand until he won the record-breaking amount of money of $ 6 million. Unfortunately, he didn’t know when to stop and he came back in May. This time he wasn’t that lucky and  lost $ 10 million in a six days Baccarat session. This is the largest single loss in the history of Baccarat ever.
