Punto Banco is a popular card game that is readily available in the Netherlands, both in online and mobile casinos. Like almost all other mobile casino games, Punto Banco is straightforward and easy to learn. The game is played between two hands: the Player’s Hand (or Punto) and the Banker’s Hand (or Banco). Both hands have two cards, and the punter can choose which to back. The main objective of the game is to guess which of the hands will get the highest total.
The game starts with each hand receiving two cards which are then totalled and the hand with the closest total to 9 is declared the winner. If the total of the two cards is exactly 9, then the hand is considered a “natural” and that hand is the winner.
The player is allowed to draw a third card, if the total of his/her first two cards is between 0 and 5, and the Bank is allowed to draw a third card if the total of his/her first two cards is between 0 and 5, or if the total of the Player’s Hand is between 6 and 7.
