Not sure what happened to other threads as nothing is coming up in the search, but this movie has a very good baccarat scene with a grand table.  It's on Amazon Prime. But I think I already found a BIG error in the translation of the scene.

you're saying Grand Baccarat is that some new slang Or a certain part of the country; another country or are you referring to Big baccarat table--otherwise known as the  original baccarat table?

Grand as in big.  This one is super big at least 15 seats with players dealing and no video scoreboards.

that is a big baccarat table the original there are still several left in Las Vegas there's some on the East Coast there are 14 seats for the players and three dealers and normally unless the players elect differently to play it is Midi  style, the shoe would travel counterclockwise with the players dealing it they still play In the USA.

There are moments and scenes in these movies that are very good, but a lot is way out there or just over the top ridiculous.  Casino Raiders II is far out into some 6th sense type themes related to gambling.  Like most black jack showdowns are all about tricking people with the shuffle?   

I think a lot is lot in translation and subtitles.  The main character in I is called 'Crab', but in II he is then called 'Chicken Feet'.  I love seeing the different parts of Hong Kong and the overall concepts about trust, duty, reputation, deception, etc.   Pretty much a gangster series with a gambling setting.

This series could have been so much better if they ground it more in reality.  I have to screen through it again to look for specific baccarat content, but I didn't make it to the end.... And it's poker.

+ 1 if you can guess the two scenes I cried in.
