Is baccarat making a comeback? (Bodog Beat Image)

This game used to be the biggest action in the house. Blackjack and craps have been the dominant casino games in North America, but the trend has been shifting to baccarat over the last three years. The more that China opens up, the more wealthy Chinese gamblers take their action to new baccarat pits.

Casinos across North America have been renovating new baccarat pits for years. The high-stakes baccarat games can have a noticeable difference in a house's take, so every casino wants to appeal to the Asian gamer.

The game is popular online because of the simplicity of play and wider range of betting limits. In most live casinos, baccarat is a high-roller game. But you can play for small limits online.

The game is definitely making a comeback because it has become available to players who could never afford to play it before.
