Baccarat has accounted for 91 percent of Macau’s gross revenue numbers and 67 percent of its gross income of 57.815 billion, according to the Gaming Inspecition and Coordination Bureau.

The game is especially popular within the Asian gambling community.  Websites like Bodog88.com that focus heavily on this market have recently revamped their Baccarat games.

Overall, Macau gaming revenue was up 14.8 percent in the first quarter to $10.66 billion compared to the same quarter in 2012.

There are 35 casinos located within the Chinese gambling enclave.
