Harrah's Lake Tahoe Table Games

Famed for years in Monte Carlo, Baccarat may be the simplest of casino table games by virtue of the fact that you make only one decision. Choose to wager on the player or the bank. Then two hands are dealt, you make your bet and the hand that comes closest to 9 wins. Baccarat is seen as one of the most sophisticated games in the casino, so it’s no wonder this was James Bond’s game of choice. Mini Baccarat is a simple, straightforward way to enjoy this action, with fast-paced action and lower minimum wagers.

You could win thousands of dollars on a single hand.

Players form two hands and each goes against the dealer’s. Beat the dealer once to push, twice to win.
