Why did you come up with this variant of the Punto Banco, called the "Big 6" ?
At the traditional Punto Banco, winning Punto bets are always paid 1:1 and winning Banco bets are always paid 19:20 (i.e. a 5% deduction).
As the croupier had to manually deduct 5% from each Banco bet, payouts could take several minutes and the risk of error was increased. This prompted casino operators to come up with a new way of exploiting the game.
The result is Punto Banco Big 6! In this variant, the deduction is no longer made every time Banco wins, but every time Banco wins with a score of 6 (hence the name of the variant). Since this deduction occurs less often, it is increased to 50% of the stake.
The aim of this change is to make the game more dynamic, with less downtime between draws and less 'loose change' for players.
This variant has now replaced the traditional Punto Banco in the hearts of players, which is why you'll only find Big 6 tables at Club Pierre Charron.
