Available at all Playtech provided sites, Pontoon is a great online casinos game that, like blackjack, is played with 8 decks of cards. The objective of this game is to a get a hand that's as close as possible to 21, but doesn't go over; however, there is another way to win at Pontoon. This is where this online casinos game differs from the classic blackjack. In pontoon your hand is declared a winner if you are dealt an Ace and a 10-value card, and the dealer did not, most blackjack versions allow the player to push when the dealer and player draw a 21, however, in pontoon, the player loses. The second way to win in pontoon is to pull a 5-card trick, this is down by hitting until you hit 5 cards all while not going over 21. The 5-card trick is what makes pontoon great, because if your first two cards equal a low hand, you can make your way to a 2/1 payout just by getting those low cards! The other rules of pontoon are identical to blackjack: always split Aces and 8's, never split 10's or faces and always have fun when you are playing at the online casinos. Oh, one last thing, you don't get to see any of the dealers cards in pontoon, so happy guessing! << Back   Copyright 2004 © Online Casinos Rules. All rights reserved.
