Punto Banco Batticuoreby World Match, LTD

Literally translated, 'Batticuore' means palpitations and Punto Banco Batticuore will certainly get your heart pumping! This baccarat game is delivered in such a way as to truly elicit excitement. Rather than simply flopping cards on the table, each card is presented in a way to build anticipation. The decks used belie the origins of Punto Banco as well, when there were no numbers written on the cards and players had to count the hearts, spades, clubs and diamonds themselves.

The goal of the game is to get as close to a total of 9 as possible. 10's and face cards count as zero. There are special rules for the delivery of a third card in some situations but the software takes care of this detail and all the player needs to do is take a guess before placing a bet whether Player or Banker will win, or if the game will be a tie. Player bets pay even money – Banker bets pay even less a 5% commission (the commission is taken as Banker wins more often due to 3rd card rules). Tie bets pay 8:1 which is, statistically a poor bet for the player.
