Punto Banco (Baccarat) is one of the most popular casino games in Thailand, and has been for centuries. It is also known as the Royal Game and is played using two hands: the Banker and the Player. The goal of the game is to predict which hand will have the highest total at the end of the round. The aim of the game is to try and get closer to a total of nine. In Punto Banco, all the cards have face value with the exception of the aces, which count as one. The highest possible hand is 9, and it is also known as the Natural Hand.
