I was recently in Dover Delaware to bet the W.Series and played some craps, but did not see any baccarat tables. Has this card game lost some appeal in the last 10 years or so?
The Blackjack tables were somewhat foreign to me with the side betting options so I didn't bother with that..Baccarat is pretty simple or used to be..

Baccarat is as simple as it comes. Almost like betting a coin flip, except that you can bet the tie.

I know how the rules, but saw no tables at Dover.

I'm too old to be posting ... James Bond 007 movies etc... Before smartphones and social media....
The game is a quick decision and I once won over 1000 playing it.... But that's pennies today..

That's funny....."Asian " high roller. I didn't even know central Florida had casinos... I figured there were probably Indian casinos somewhere in the state.. If Florida had sports betting, it would be bigger than HUGH in my humble opinion.

its weird how you hear stories of people losing their houses or businesses to this game and its not even interesting game. I don't see how they can't get so bored by it in hours, let alone days. When people are still wearing the same close on sunday that you saw them in friday playing this shitty game........ like go the fuck home
