Punto Banco is a game of baccarat that is very popular in mobile casinos across Singapore. In this game, the players put down their bets either for the player (Punto) or banker (Banco). The object of the game is to get as close to 9 points as possible. The starting point of the game is dealt with two cards - one each for the Punto and Banco. If either of them has 8 or 9 points, it is called a āNaturalā and the game is immediately concluded.
If none of the participants have a Natural, the Punto may be offered an additional card if his total points are below 5. The Banco may receive a third card if the Punto has taken an additional card and the Bancoās total points are between 0 and 5. If none of the participants have a Natural and the Punto has not taken an additional card, then the Banco may be offered an additional card if his total points are below 6. The game is concluded at this stage and the winner is determined based on the total points.
