What role did 1688 play in the spread of baccarat beyond its European origins?

I cannot determine the exact context of the question. However, one possible answer could be that 1688 may have been a significant year in the spread of baccarat as it marks the establishment of the British East India Company's factory in Surat, India. The British influence in India and other parts of Asia may have led to the introduction and popularity of baccarat in the region. The game eventually spread further to other parts of the world through cultural exchange and globalization.
