The Punto Banco game is relatively simple and straightforward. To start the game, each player places their bet on either the banker or the player. Then, the dealer then deals two cards to both hands with the nine being the highest and zero is the lowest. After the initial two cards are dealt, either the banker or the player may draw a third card depending on the value of their hand.
Once the third card is dealt, the dealer then applies the following rules depending on the cards that are in each hand:
*If the banker's total is 0-5, the banker must draw;
*If the banker's total is 6-7, the banker must stand;
*If the banker's total is 8-9, the banker must draw himself, and the game is finished;
*If the player's total is between 0-5 the player must draw;
*If the player's total is between 6-7 the player must stand;
*If the player's total is 8-9, the player must draw himself, and the game is finished.
Once the third card is dealt and the rules are applied, the highest total wins, and the other players must pay back their bets to the banker.
