At next week’s IGE in London, the Fournier Company is planning on introducing a new product that will help increase security at baccarat gaming tables. Fournier is a manufacturer of casino playing cards and has been in the business since 1868.

Fournier has been working with United States Playing Cards to investigate the problem with security at baccarat tables. The new product is called the Security Baccarat Shoe and it is a machine that can help reduce the risk of losses in a casino.

The product will identify the cards by using a proprietary code and then the results are shown in a display. This method will increase the security at baccarat gaming tables. Casinos usually face a high risk while the game is played.

The export director of Fournier, Javier Berasategui commented: "We have been manufacturing the most secure playing cards for 141 years and every year we are a little bit better in this field. Now is the right time to take a step forward and find new solutions for the baccarat game, a game that due to its characteristics leaves some security breaches.”
