The game of baccarat isn’t any more addictive than other casino games. It’s appealing because you can get near-to-even odds on your wager, and you can bet large amounts. You can find baccarat at just about any stakes you can imagine, and if you have a streak of luck it can pay off in a big way. The Asian cultures have this game instilled right into their culture. Baccarat is a symbol of wealth; it’s where rich men can win small fortunes on a good night.

I don’t see anything special about the game that would make it more addictive than any other. The action plays out much like a game of blackjack or three-card poker. It doesn’t provide a different sensation or anything. It’s like any game; it becomes addictive if you win at it for a period. I would say that baccarat is just more popular, not more addictive.
