Punto Banco is a popular live casino game that has been gaining traction all over the world. It is a variant of Baccarat, which is a centuries-old card game that originates from Italy. In Canada, Punto Banco is one of the most popular live casino games. The game is available at the majority of online and offline casinos.
Punto Banco is played between two hands; the 'player' and the 'banker'. The player and banker are each dealt two cards, with the aim of obtaining a sum that is closest to nine. In Punto Banco, the player bets against the banker, who is typically represented by the casino.
At live casinos, Punto Banco games are offered in two variations; regular Punto Banco and mini Punto Banco. In regular Punto Banco, players can bet on the player or banker, or on the possibility of a tie. Mini Punto Banco is a variation of Punto Banco, which is played with six decks of cards instead of the usual eight.
