Punto Banco is a popular card game among the mobile casinos in Portugal. It is a simplified version of Baccarat and is also known as North American Baccarat. In Punto Banco, the players compete against the dealer, not against each other. The aim of the game is to bet which of the two sides -either the player (Punto) or the Banker (Banco) will have a higher score or if the game will end in a Tie.
Unlike its more complex cousin, Baccarat, Punto Banco is based on pure luck, with no real strategy involved. The mobile-casino variant of the game simply requires the player to choose the side they think will win, and then it's up to fate.
