Punto Banco is a game of luck and fortune. Ita€?s a relatively simple game to learn and play and can be found on many of the mobile casinos in Nigeria. In the game, punters or players bet on which of two hands will win, the "Punto" hand or the "Banco" hand. Punto is also known as Player, and Banco is known as Banker.
The goal is to correctly predict the hand with the highest total, which can be 0 to 9 (inclusive). The player or punter can either bet on the Punto, Banco, or Tie (a draw). Cards are dealt face down. The first card is given to the Punto and the second to the Banco.
There are certain rules that must be followed when playing Punto Banco. Players cannot touch the cards that have been dealt to them. The player with the highest total wins the round. If the Punto and the Banco have an equal total, the game is considered a tie. If the Punto has 8 or 9 as their total, then the player does not receive any additional cards.
