Well roulette has met the final frontier. No not space, I mean the Internet, the final earthly frontier! Online roulette is pretty much exploding right now, as are most other casino games that have migrated into online casino software over the past five years or so. There are many reasons people try out online gambling, the most obvious one being the fact that not many people can afford to fly to Vegas as often as they might like. Bringing real gambling online has many would be Vegas frequenters saving some money on plane tickets. I've truly come to enjoy playing roulette online. It's virtually the same as playing in a real casino, and if you're a serious player it even holds some advantages. The casinos throw as much distraction as they can at you while you gamble. They feed you free booze, keep lots of mirrors around so you're never really sure where you are, constantly send beautiful girls walking by the table, clang coins and buzzers and bells and whistles all around you, all in a rather effective attempt to take your money in as smooth a way as possible. Playing online eliminates all but a few of these nasty distractions. A great number of people prefer to play in a real casino of course, because all of the distraction is elegantly disguised as entertainment. And of course to many it is, the glitz and glamour of a Vegas casino can hardly be beaten. So you would expect that online roulette is more for those who like the game itself, but I've found many different types of people enjoy it right off the bat. I think the main reason for this is the fact that there is no intimidation factor, no dealers to make you nervous, no high rollers making you feel puny, no cigar smoke, and no worries about embarrassing yourself by making a wrong move. These may not seem like huge reasons, but actually, those are some pretty powerful negatives. Many friends I have hate cigar smoke so much they often find it difficult to find a table to play at in the casino. Countless others have never actually walked up to the roulette table, however much they would have liked to, because they don't know if they may do something wrong. So playing online roulette garners as much benefit to the new and inexperienced player as it does the serious one who is interested in the game more than the casino hoopla. Most people who ask me about online roulette ask the same question. Are the odds the same playing online as playing at the casino? Well, if you've read our roulette odds page, you'll know that American roulette has a rather incontrovertible house edge and that certainly couldn't change. Unless a game has been blatantly fixed, you'll find you have as much success and failure at the online roulette tables as in the casino. The beautiful thing about playing online though, is the abundance of European roulette wheels available. Playing on a European (single zero) roulette table automatically cuts the house edge down to almost half of it's American cousin. This is by far the most convincing reason to play roulette online, unless you're lucky enough to have a European roulette wheel just down the street.

Punto Banco is actually Player Vs Banker. There are only two hands participating in this version and the real choices you can make are where to put your bets and that's all there is to it. The player has no options; the cards are dealt according to the rules, which can be found a little further in this article. The cards are dealt, two to each hand, when the player gets the first card. After this the next cards are dealt.
Rules:

- If the player has a total of up to 5 he can draw another cards, otherwise, if has a total of 6 or 7 he stands, else, meaning he has 8 or 9 it is a 'natural' and not the player or the banker can draw another card.

- The rules for the banker are a little harder to memorize but they are not complex:
If the bank holds a total of up to 2 the he draws another card.
In case of total of 3 he draws if the third card of the player is '8'.
In case of total of 4 he draws if the third card of the player is 2 to 7.
In case of total of 5 he draws if the third card of the player is 4 to 7.
In case of total of 0-5 and the player's total is 6 or 7 and he stands
then the bank draws another card.
In case of total of 6 he draws if the third card of the player is 6 or 7.
In case of total of 6 and the player have a total of 6 or 7 he stands.
In case of total of 7 he stands without drawing a third card.
In case of total of 8 or 9 it is again a natural and no cards are dealt further.
Bets:

As you can see, the game is predetermined from the initial two cards.
After the wining hand is called the croupier will pay as following – a 1:1 will be paid to wining bets on players and 95% on bankers (the house's commission) A tie bet will earn 1:8 ratios. Notice that if a tie ("Egalite" in French) occurs, then bets on player or banker are not taken by the croupier. In some casinos a banker wage will be paid even, but in case of the banker's total is 6 then the wining wagers will be paid only half of their bets.
The Table:

The table is employees are the croupier, who manages the game, and two dealers. The dealers are responsible for the bets. They collect, pay and charge commissions. The player with the highest bet plays as the player. The role of the banker is ceremonial, as the shoe passes from player to player. The banker is instructed by the croupier all along the round. Also, the banker can bet on himself, on the player or on a tie since his part in the game is truly ceremonial.
Final notes:

This variation of baccarat is usually played by high rollers who play is separate parts of the casino in private secured and luxuries rooms. The minimum bets varies from 25$ to 500$ while the maximum is ten grand. Since the dealing of the cards is predetermined so do the odds, which are, in case of a six card decks game: A player's bet has a house edge of 1.24%, the banker bet a 1.06% and the tie bet has a 14.44% house edge.
