EZ Baccarat was founded by Talisman Group.

Gaming executive, Roger Tomás, formerly with Cirsa and Sabia Corp, announced that he has reached an agreement with Talisman Group, for the exclusive distribution rights for EZ Baccarat in Latin America. 

This agreement will commence beginning September 9, 2023. 

The EZ Baccarat game was co-created by Robin Powell and Francisco Tejeda of Talisman Group

Tomás is an industry veteran, having been General Director of Cirsa Columbia, Argentina, Panama and Peru from 1997 to 2005. Then from 2005 onwards, Tomás worked as Executive VP of Sabia Corp in Mexico, Guatemala and Panama until 2010.

After 2010, Tomás founded Tomás Tapies Harrison Gaming (TTH Gaming), where he has remained on the Board. He is currently the CEO of Interra Latin.

EZ baccarat has 830 tables in 140 casinos worldwide. EZ Baccarat is played the same way as traditional baccarat, except EZ baccarat eliminates the 5% commission after every winning Bank hand without modifying any of the existing drawing rules of the standard game. 

Tomás, CEO of Interra Latin said, “I am delighted to become the distributor of EZ Baccarat in Latin America where I believe my experience combined with the tremendous potential will help grow this market.”

Tejeda, Principal at Talisman Group commented, “After knowing and doing business with Roger Tomás for over 20 years, we are very pleased to join forces to market the baccarat game in the United States and Canada throughout Latin America. Tomás’ sterling goodwill shown during his 20 years in business in this continent is bound to make this project a great success."
