Game Rules

Punto banco is a simplified version of baccarat where each move is determined by the drawn cards. The game proceeds according to fixed rules, and players make no decisions during the coup (round).

The game uses standard baccarat card values:

Ace = 1
2–9 = pip value
10 and face cards (Jack, Queen, and King) = 0

The objective is to predict which of the two hands, the Punto (player) or the Banco (banker), will have a total closest to nine.

Player bets on either:

Punto (player)
Banco (banker)
Egalité (tie)

The dealer deals two cards to both the player and the banker.

If the total of a hand is 10 or more, only the last digit is counted (modulo 10).

If either the player or the banker (or both) has a total of 8 or 9, the round ends immediately; it is referred to as a «natural».

Otherwise:

If the player's total is 0–5, they draw a third card.
If the player's total is 6 or 7, they stand.

The banker's decision to draw a third card depends on both their total and the player's third card, following a predefined «tableau»:

Banker's total / Player's third card value

	0	1	2	3
