Baccarat Leads Asian Gambling Boom

Could Baccarat become a leading game in the world of online gambling? If the trends out of Macau's land-based casinos are any indication, then the answer is a definite yes.

Asia's Most Popular Game

The latest news out of Asia's gambling mecca of Macau is that Baccarat accounted for most of the $38 million in gambling revenue last year. And considering that gambling figures were six times higher than those in Las Vegas in the same year, this is pretty significant.

Baccarat takes a back seat to Blackjack and Poker in Las Vegas, Atlantic City and Monaco, but in Macau it has been growing just as much as the booming gaming town, thanks to a clear preference from the growing number of Chinese high-rollers who frequently visit from the mainland.

The Baccarat boom is only set to get bigger, as Macau casinos who take in two-thirds of revenues from VIP Baccarat plan to open new resorts around 2015. Baccarat is also the biggest game in the other Asian gambling hub of Singapore.

Live Baccarat

If your budget or schedule don't allow you to make it to Macau, then you can enjoy Live Baccarat and other live casino games such as Blackjack, Roulette and Hold'em, from the comfort of your own homes, thanks to leading online gambling brands like EuroGrand Casino and bet365 Casino.

EuroGrand brings you ultra-realistic Baccarat from its live studios, allowing players to switch between a classic real view and a 3D view. In reality, this brings you what you get from a land-based casino plus even more that you won't find in Vegas or Macau.
