In punto banco baccarat, the player and banker hands are dealt under fixed drawing rules. The hand closest to a total of nine wins; tens and face cards count as zero, while aces count as one.

How Baccarat works
A total above nine drops the tens digit: a hand totalling 15 counts as five. The Player and Banker labels refer to the two hands, not to a personal role at the table. Tie bets use a separate outcome and payout shown in the game rules. Table versions may vary, so read the posted rules before a round.
A round in practice
A two-card total of 15 is counted as five because only the units digit is used.
Rules and versions
Punto Banco is a common format; commission, tie and third-card rules depend on the table.
What to check
- Learn the card values and total
- Compare Player, Banker and Tie rules
- Check the table’s commission and limits
Only the units digit counts, so a hand totalling 15 is valued at five.
