Punto Banco is a popular variant of the classic game of baccarat, and it is available at several mobile casinos in Ghana. This game follows a few simple rules that players must understand before they can play successfully.
The game is played with eight decks of cards, all of which are shuffled after each round. Both the player and the banker get two cards each, and the objective of the game is to get the highest point total without going over 9. If the initial two-card total is 8 or 9, it is known as a Natural and the round is over. If the initial two-card total is less than 8, then the player can choose to draw an extra card. However, if the player stands, then the banker will draw until the total is 6 or higher.
The point totals are quantified as follows: the Ace is worth 1 point, the 2-9 cards are worth their numerical value, and the face cards are worth 0 points. After both the player and banker totals are calculated, the hand with the higher point total is the winner. If both have the same point total, the game is a tie.
