About the game
Macao is an old, European gambling card game played with French playing cards that is related to Baccarat. It was first mentioned in 1774, and may have originated in Hungary or Italy. It was described as being popular with the soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire during the 19th century, although the game was later banned as a game of chance.More from alea
