Punto Banco, or Baccarat as it is more commonly known, is an incredibly popular card game in Belarus. The game is believed to have its origins in an ancient game played by the Etruscan people of Northern Italy in the 1400s. The card game does incorporate some elements of the Etruscan game, and even today it remains popular amongst Belarusians. Punto Banco is played between a banker and a player, with each person receiving three cards and the goal of the game being to score closer to nine than the other player. It is a relatively simple game that is great for beginners who are just getting into online casinos.
