Punto Banco (also known as Baccarat), is a very popular casino table game. It is a card game played between two hands – the ‘Punto’ and the ‘Banco’ – and typically involves eight decks of cards dealt from a ‘shoe’. In each round of play, the casino operator (or an automated dealer) deals two cards each to the Punto and Banco – the highest point total wins, however you can also bet against the odds for example, a wager on either hand winning.
