History Of Pontoon Blackjack
Pontoon is popularly known as the British-style version of Blackjack. It is available online as most casinos know that it is as popular as Blackjack. In fact, what Australians call a Pontoon usually refers to a game, called a Spanish 21.
Just as in Blackjack, in Pontoon the goal of the player is to beat the dealer’s hand without exceeding 21. There are some subtle differences in rules including the following:
In Pontoon there are 2 hands that defeat a regular 21. First, Pontoon --comprising an Ace and a 10 or picture card, and secondly, a 5-Card Trick, where the player draws 5 cards without busting, regardless of what the total value of their hand is.
The dealer's cards are dealt face down and remain so until the player either stands or busts.
