Punto Banco is a popular casino game, also known as Baccarat, in which players must try to score as close to nine as possible.These rules apply to the mobile version of the game that is currently available at Palestinian Territories' mobile casinos.Players must note that Punto Banco is a game of chance and not of skill - the outcome of each hand depends solely on luck.
Each hand at the Punto Banco table has three possible outcomes: the 'Player', the 'Banker', and the 'Tie'.The game is played between a 'Player' and 'Banker', and all players can bet on either one of the two.Players can also bet on the 'Tie' outcome.
The value of each hand is determined by the sum of the two cards dealt to each side.If the total of both hands is 8 or 9, this is considered a 'natural' and the hand is over.If, on the other hand, one of the sides has a total of 6 or 7, this is considered 'stand-off' and the hand is over.
If the 'Player' and 'Banker' have totals between 0 and 5, then either player must take a third card, depending on the value of the hand.The 'Player' must draw a third card if the total of the first two cards is 5 or less.The 'Banker', on the other hand, must draw a third card if the total of the first two cards is 2 or less.
