PUNTO BANCO online at Goldrun Casino.

Punto Banco, also known as Baccarat is one of the oldest and most popular card games in casinos all over the world. It originates even from the 1400’s. Nowadays it is especially popular among high-rollers and Asian gamblers. In Macau, Punto Banco is extremely dominant. Although the game seems serious and elegant, it is really as simple as betting on the flip of a coin.

In Punto Banco, it is all about predicting the winning field. Put your bet on either Punto, Banco or Egalité. If your bet is on the winning field, you get paid according to the payout rules. Punto pays two times your bet, Banco pays 2 times your bet minus 5% commission on the bet value and Egalité pays 9 times your bet.

What is the goal of the game?

Two cards get dealt to both Punto and Banco fields. Add the value of the cards per field and the one closest to 9 wins. More cards can be dealt, depending on the value of the first two cards.

The value of the cards are: Ace is 1, face cards are 0 and 1-9 numbered cards are valued according to their respective numbers. The score of the field is the value of the right digit (if over 9). For example, if the two cards were an 8 and 7, then the total would be 15 and the score would be a 5. The scores will always range from 0 to 9 and it is impossible to bust.
