What is Baccarat Punto Banco?

Baccarat Punto Banco is the most popular casino card game. Players place their bets on the Player hand, the Banker hand, or a Tie before cards are dealt.

Card Values & Scoring

The goal is to get a hand value closest to 9. Tens, Jacks, Queens, and Kings are worth 0. Aces are worth 1 point. Cards 2-9 are worth their face value. If the total value exceeds 9, only the last digit is counted (e.g., a total of 15 is scored as 5).

Standard Betting Spots

• Player Hand: Pays 1:1.
• Banker Hand: Pays 0.95:1 (a 5% commission is automatically deducted).
• Tie: Pays 8:1 (or 9:1 depending on table rules).

Tips & Strategy

• Avoid betting on Tie as it has a significantly higher house edge.
• Managing your bankroll per round is key to extending your playtime.
