Punto Banco, also known as North American Baccarat, is a banking game of luck that is popular among casino players in Armenia. This game is typically played in casinos and can involve between 1 to 8 decks of cards, but usually 2-4 decks are used. The dealer shuffles the cards and then deals them out to the players. The game plays out as two hands of two cards each, one for the banker (Punto) and one for the player (Banco). In this way, the game resembles Blackjack. The goal of Punto Banco is to bet on the hand with the higher value. Players can choose to bet on either Punto (banker) or Banco (player).
