One of the more specialised games that guests may be tempted to play is Baccarat. What is Baccarat? Baccarat is the game associated with junkets, high limits and private rooms. The object of the game is to bet the player's hand or the banker's hand. The winner will be the hand that is closest to 9. Picture cards have the value of 10, aces have the value of 1 and other cards count as face value.
If the value of a hand exceeds 10 then only the right hand digit will be counted. For example:

Tarot Card Readers

The Tarot is a deck of cards that originated over 500 years ago in northern Italy. Although the Tarot was first used in a game called Triumphs, it was quickly adopted as a tool for divination, and popularised by occult societies such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
