There is no better game to make you feel like a high roller on your mobile device than Punto Banco! Punto Banco is a classic, exciting casino table game, very similar to Baccarat, which allows you to bet on the winner between two hands. James Bond played this thrilling game in one of the first ever Bond films, which goes to show you that it is dangerously fun!
To start playing Punto Banco, all you need to know is that the player and the dealer are each dealt two cards, with the winner having the hand closest to a total of nine. It really is as simple as that.
There are typically eight decks of 52 cards used in a game of Punto Banco, with each card given a point value, 0 through 9. For example: Ace=1, 5=5, and 10 and Face Cards=0. The sum of the cards in your hand determines your score, with the second digit as the score in a double-digit sum. For example, two 8s would yield a score of 6 (8+8 = 16, and the second digit is 6), while a Jack and a 4 would yield a score of 4 (Jack=0, 0+4 = 4). The winning hand between the player and the dealer is the one that comes closest to nine. If the player and the dealer end up with the same score, then that hand is deemed a tie. The best part of Punto Banco is you can never bust, so you are always in play to win!
Punto Banco has some of the most amazing odds that are in your favor, and the app allows you to make several different types of bets. You can bet on the “player,” “the banker,” or even on a tie between the two! This makes the Punto Banco mobile app an awesome game that never grows old.
Punto Banco is available for Blackberry, Android, iPhone, iPad and Windows phone users. You can download it here. It’s free!
