What the World Needs Now is �Baccarat�

Betfair Games has launched Exchange Baccarat - their take on the classic card game. True to Betfair�s model, Exchange Baccarat allows customers to set their own odds and back and lay as the game unfolds.

James Bond�s favourite pastime (well, second favourite) is one of the best value games on the Internet and joins Betfair�s successful Exchange Games portfolio, adding to Exchange Poker and Exchange Blackjack, which have attracted more than 35,000 customers since their inception last year.

Exchange games were the brainchild of Betfair�s co-founder Andrew �Bert� Black and internally, the latest game has been renamed Bert�s Baccarat in his honour.

Betfair�s Director of Games, Steve Ives said: �Exchange games are a fantastic innovation. Never before has such a level playing field been created for online gaming. Exchange Baccarat is a better value offer than the traditional game because customers can choose the odds they want to bet at.�

Exchange Baccarat is expected to be popular in the Asian market where baccarat is the game that every wannabe high-roller is playing. Betfair hopes to tap in to the online market, relying on the inherent fairness of its system and the better value it offers over the traditional game.
