The “Father of American Baccarat”

So you wanted famous baccarat players – how about James Bond?  If you look at some of the older Bond movies or read Ian Fleming’s books, baccarat is actually Bond’s favorite casino game and not poker as portrayed in Casino Royale etc etc..

Another famous baccarat player is Tommy Renzoni, known as the “Father of American Baccarat”.  He was a hotel or casino executive in Havana, Cuba, although some sources may give him a different job title… I’m not saying anything… you do your homework and find out for yourself.

Renzoni brought the game of baccarat to Las Vegas, when the Castro government started interfering with gambling and casinos.  He has also written some baccarat books which should be read if you want to win at baccarat – who better to teach you than the “Father of American Baccarat”.

Then there are people who have won and lost huge amounts playing baccarat like Akio Kashiwagi.  Baccarat is after all seen as a game for the rich and famous!  Perhaps the availability of online baccarat is changing that exclusive image.
