Basic Outline Rules / How to Play
Lucky 8 is an optional bonus bet used in the game of Punto Banco. All rules pertaining to standard Punto Banco remain identical. Players may place a wager on either the Player hand or the Banker hand. Players may also place a wager on the tie bet alone. In addition, Players may place a Lucky 8 Bonus wager on the Player’s hand, the Banker’s hand, or both.
All wagers must be made before any cards have been revealed. To win the Lucky 8 wager, the corresponding hand that was bet must equal a point value of 8 (as determined in the standard rules of Mini‐Baccarat.) Winning wagers are paid odds according to a posted pay table.
