Punto Banco, also called North American Baccarat, is a popular card game found in many online and mobile casinos in Slovakia. The game is played between two hands – Punto and Banco – with a prototype of a standard 52-card deck. In a standard Punto Banco game, each hand contains two or three cards. Players can bet on either hand, or on a tie. The main object of the game is to bet on the hand that has the highest total value, which is determined by the sum of the card values in the hand.
The value of each card is calculated as follows: Ace = 1, 2-9 = face value, 10-King = 0. If the sum of the two or three cards in the hand is over 10, then the value of the hand is determined by subtracting 10 from the total; the remainder is the value of the hand.
