Playing Punto Banco is easy even for beginners. In this variant of Baccarat, the players place their bets for the Banker, Player, or Tie before the cards are dealt. The main objective of the game is to correctly guess which hand will win, with the possible bets being Punto, Banco, or Tie. In Punto Banco, the Player's hand and the Banker's hand are the two hands dealt. The card values go as follows: Aces are worth one point, face cards (Jacks, Queens, and Kings) are worth zero, and all other cards are worth their face value. If the point total of a hand is greater than 9, the first digit is dropped, and the total is the second digit. For example, a hand consisting of a 9 and a 6 would be worth 5.
