Narrator:
Good evening. This doesn't look dangerous, does it? But it's killed plenty of men and women. It's made beggars of many and millionaires of a few, mighty few.

Narrator:
In French gambling casinos, this is called a shoe. It holds the cards for baccarat - king of gambling games - and its purpose is to make sure that no one can pull any funny business, like dealing from the bottom. The game to be played tonight is for the highest stakes of all. A man is going to wager his life.
