Punto banco has both some of the lowest house edges among casino table games, and some of the highest. The player bet has, relative to most casino bets, a low house edge of 1.24%, and the banker bet (accounting for the 5% commission on the win) is even lower, at 1.06%.

He is seen playing the game at the Achilleion Palace in Corfu, Greece. He is accompanied by Countess Lisl von Schlaf, a wealthy Austrian woman who is also a skilled gambler. Bond wins the game and wins a large sum of money. In a similar variation called EZ-baccarat, even money is paid on both winning banker or player bets, except when the banker wins with a total of 7 after the third card is drawn, which results in a push on banker bets. The game has two additional options, the Dragon 7, a specific bet of a winning three-card 7 on the banker side, which pays 40-to-1 instead of pushing, and Panda 8, a bet of a winning three-card 8 on the player side, which pays 25-to-1.

In GoldenEye (1995) the glamorous Monte Carlo Casino, Monaco is the setting for Bond to meet Xenia Onatopp following their adrenalised car race through the hills. They discuss their shared passions – one of which is a love of gambling – and battle it out playing chemin de fer. 007 eventually gets the better of Onatopp, much to her frustration. The director agreed, instead relying on his most valuable asset to carry the audience to its high-rolling finale: The witty banter, volatile interruptions, and contemplative pauses of Daniel Craig. Initially second-guessed and criticized by dubious Bond fans when he signed onto the production, Craig redefined the role by exposing its humanity. On the brink of death multiple times, he wears his bruises and blood stains like a badge of honor, and then dispenses his brutality at the table, sliding into a smooth-talking, card-playing competitor to match Mikkelsen’s commanding presence.

Unlike punto banco, which is purely a game of chance, chemin de fer includes an element of player skill.

But the characters’ betting strategy, specifically when LeChiffre eliminates Bond from the table, had flaws. In the original script, Bond moves all-in once he sees LeChiffre’s tell. In actuality, Sambrook recognized, Bond would have teased his opponent until the last bet, trying to coax more chips, if he really thought he was bluffing. “That had to change,” Sambrook says. “I put in [the script] that Bond does the teaser re-raise, inducing the big all-in. It took maybe six weeks to get that up to Martin Campbell [...] I said, ‘You’ve got to read this,’ because most people won’t know or care, but there will be hardcore poker players that will just say, ‘They’ve done it again. Why can’t they get this stuff right?’”
