Punto Banco

Rules

One of the best-known casino games is also the easiest. It is possible to place wagers on Player (Punto), Bank (Banco), or the tie bet.

The Dealer draws cards according to set rules to make two hands. The value of the two hands is compared, the winner being the hand closest to nine. The card total can only be a single digit figure, so a count of 15 becomes 5.

Winning bets are paid at even money for Player, 19:20 for Bank, and eight to one for tie bets.
