Punto Banco, also known as North American Baccarat, is an exciting and hugely popular card game played at online casinos. Originating in Italy, the game quickly grew in popularity through the United States, as well as other parts of the world. The main objective of the game is for the "banker" and "player" to make the best two-card hand from four, while keeping close track of the score. The total score for the two hands must not exceed nine points, as the aim of the game is to get closest to that amount.
