Punto Banco is a popular version of the popular card game Baccarat. The game is often played in land-based casinos, and recently has become even more popular when offered at online casinos. In this game, the players are dealt two cards, and the third is dealt to the "banker". Players are then required to bet on their hand, and the banker's. The player or the banker with the highest hand wins, and the game is settled according to the usual rules of the card game Baccarat.
The winning hand is determined by the values of the two cards dealt, and the rules of Punto Banco remain constant regardless of the version of the game being played. Punto Banco is very similar to the game of Chemin de Fer, but the rules are stricter in Punto Banco.
