What is Pontoon?

Pontoon is the newest addition to our Pro Series of games and it puts a lucrative new spin on traditional Blackjack. Not only are both dealer cards dealt face down, but the introduction of the ‘Pontoon’ hand, 5 Card Trick, splitting and buying creates enticing new ways to win for the player. You have the option to play up to 3 game hands at the same time and can also choose to play low, regular or high limits.

Pontoon is played with 6 regular decks. Like regular Blackjack, number cards (2-10) count as face value, aces count as 1 or 11, and face cards (kings, queens, jacks) are worth 10. Here’s where it gets interesting: The dealer must draw to 16 and must stick on a hand if it is a hard 17 (a hand without an ace, or a hand with an ace that can only have the value of one). Alternatively, the dealer must twist on a hand that is a soft 17 (i.e. a hand with an ace that can be counted as either 1 or 11 without busting, or going over 21). Like the traditional game, a hand wins if its value is closer to 21 than the dealer’s. Unlike conventional Blackjack, a hand automatically sticks when it’s a Pontoon – in other words, a hard where the first two cards (including split cards) are an ace and a card with a value of ten. The hand will also automatically stick if it as a hard 21 or a 5 Card Trick (i.e. a hand of 5 cards totalling 21 or less).

The crisp and clear layout makes getting started simple. When you click 'Deal' the cards will be dealt – face up to you and face down to the dealer. Once you decide to stand on the hand (or hands), the result is made visible above the cards. At this point the chips are distributed according to the payout rules. Before the next round starts, you will be given the option to re-bet with the same amount in the same table sections, or, alternatively, to place a new bet. To really make the game interesting, players are also given the opportunity to up the ante by splitting or buying. If you opt to buy, you will double your initial bet. Keep in mind you must have no more than 4 cards and you can buy only once per round. If you decide to split, you will split two cards of equal rank into two new hands. These options will become visible if the chance to split or buy presents itself.

If you wish to remove a bet, just click the desired chip and then click the betting area in which you wish to place your bet. Each click increases the bet value. To remove a bet select the chip with the red cross and then click the betting area with the incorrect bet. You’ll see the whole bet is removed and you can place a new one.
