The house edge will have its way no matter what you think, wish or "logic" out. The casinos go to the bank with the money from players following poor advice...read moreBanking on the Success of Electronic Baccarat1 July 2009 International Game Technology, one of the world's leading slot machine developers and manufacturers, is betting that the time is right for gaming enthusiasts to start becoming comfortable with electronic table games.
