Punto Banco is a popular card game often played in casinos, particularly in Las Vegas. It is a version of the game of Baccarat, where players bet on one of three outcomes: the Player hand winning, the Banker hand winning, or a tie. The game uses a standard deck of cards, and the goal is to have a hand value closest to nine. In Punto Banco, players do not make decisions about the cards; instead, the dealer handles all gameplay. Each hand consists of two cards, and the values are calculated by adding the card values together, with only the last digit counted. For example, a hand of 7 and 8 totals 5.
