According to a news article the Las Vegas gaming industry has seen a rise in revenue as of late.
The rise is due to an increase in persons playing Baccarat. This isn't a normally popular game and apparently many places don't even carry the game.

An exclusive class of customer deserves a good deal of credit for the Strip’s first increase in reported gambling revenue since 2007 — high rollers who play a game that most Americans don’t pronounce correctly.
Baccarat, the high-stakes card game favored by James Bond, accounted for nearly 20 percent of the Strip’s gambling revenue in November, the Gaming Control Board announced last week. Strip casinos reaped $92.7 million from baccarat players that month — a 136 percent increase from a year ago.

This is great news for Vegas casinos. I just wonder how long it will last. I hope it lasts for a long time. It would be bad for the casinos to add the game and then have the bottom drop out.
