A simple yet fascinating game where you bet on whether the player or the banker will win – or if it all ends in a tie. Punto Banco is easy to learn, yet offers an intensity that has made it a favorite among casino guests worldwide. The atmosphere around the table is both relaxed and sophisticated – perfect for those who appreciate style, luck, and the true international casino experience.
Baccarat has a long and fascinating history dating back to 15th-century Italy, from where it spread to France and became a symbol of luxury known as Chemin de Fer.
The modern version – Punto Banco – was developed in the United States, making the game more accessible. The result was a game that preserved baccarat’s elegance, but with a faster and smoother pace.
Today, Punto Banco is the most popular version of baccarat in the world – a classic casino game that still exudes history, sophistication, and international tradition.
Punto banco is a card game played with 6 decks of 52 cards.
The cards have fixed values: an Ace counts as 1, cards 2–9 count at their face value, and 10s as well as face cards count as 0. Only the last digit of the total sum counts (for example, 15 becomes 5).
“Tie” means that both the Player and the Banker have the same total. If you have bet on Tie, you win (typically with a higher payout), while bets on Player and Banker are usually returned (push).
The dealer leads the game at the table, deals cards or controls the roulette wheel, handles bets and pays out winnings. They ensure that the rules of the game are followed and that everything is done correctly and fairly.
Punto Banco is a variant of baccarat and is a simple card game where you play against the house – not against other players. The objective is to predict which hand will come closest to 9: “Punto” (the player) or “Banco” (the banker). You can also bet on a tie.
The game begins by placing your bet on either Punto, Banco, or tie. The dealer then deals two cards to both Punto and Banco. The value of the cards is added together, where aces count as 1, cards from 2–9 have their face value, and 10s as well as face cards count as 0. Only the last digit of the total counts (for example, 15 becomes 5).
Depending on the result, a third card may be drawn according to fixed rules – this happens automatically and requires no decisions from the players. Once all cards are dealt, the hands are compared, and the one closest to 9 wins.
Payouts depend on your bet: Punto typically pays 1:1, Banco also pays 1:1 (usually with a small commission), while a tie offers a higher payout. Punto Banco is easy to play and requires no strategy – it’s simply about choosing your bet and following the game.
Winnings are paid out either in cash at the casino or via bank transfer for larger amounts. You must show valid ID for larger winnings due to legal requirements. All winnings are tax-free.
Gambling should be fun. Play wisely, set limits for yourself, and only gamble what you can afford to lose.
Guests are expected to behave respectfully towards other players and staff. It is not permitted to disrupt the game, use a mobile phone at the tables or receive outside help. The casino is monitored and staff can refuse guests or interrupt games at any time if irregularities are suspected.
Guests must follow the casino's rules and instructions from staff. Show consideration for other players, avoid disruptive behavior, and handle cards and chips correctly. Cheating, collaboration or the use of aids is not permitted and may result in expulsion. It is also customary to tip the dealer if you win.
