It appears we may have executed the wrong joke in our baccarat post. Our reader(s) reads, so we don’t have to:
James Bond does not play the American version of Baccarat. He plays a European version of it called Chemin de Fer.In the American game the players have no choices as to whether or not to take a third card. Play is set. Whereas in Chemin de Fer the players have some choices as to the third card under certain conditions.
We got it. “Chemin de Fer.” This guy must eat these kind of steaks.
