Practice table

Full punto banco from an eight-deck shoe, dealt by the real rules. After every coup you will see exactly why each hand did or did not take a third card.

How to play

  1. Pick a coin size: 10, 25, 50 or 100.
  2. Tap Player, Banker or Tie on the table to put that many coins there. Tap again to add more. You can back more than one area.
  3. Press Deal. The cards are drawn by the fixed rules, and your bets are settled straight away.

A returned stake is a push: you get back what you put down, nothing more. The shoe is reshuffled when the cut card comes out, about 14 cards from the end, and a few cards are burned at the start of each shoe, as at a real table.
