PONTOON BLACKJACK
Description and Objective:
The objective of Pontoon Blackjack (also called Twenty-One, Vingt-Et-Un, and Van John) is for a player to come as close to 21 without going over, while still having a higher number than the dealer. Prior to receiving any cards, the player must place a bet. Once the bet is made, the player is dealt two cards face up. The dealer is also dealt two cards. If the total value of the player's cards is closer to 21 than the dealer, the player wins as much as he bet. The player wins if the dealer goes over 21.
Please see the pay table on this machine and the payout table below for additional information.
Pontoon Rules:
- Pontoon is dealt with 2 decks of Cards.
- Cards are re-shuffled after every hand.
- Dealer must hit soft 17 (ace and a 6).
- Dealer Wins all ties.
- Dealer Wins with any 5 card total of 21 or less.
- Player wins with any 5 card total of 21 or less (unless the Dealer has 5 cards).
Card Values:
- Suits of the cards have no meaning in the game.
- Cards 2 through 10 are the face value.
- Jacks, Queens and Kings are all valued at 10.
- Aces can count as either 1 or 11.
The Player wins if the Player has a higher total than the Dealer with both the Player and Dealer having 4 cards or less or the Dealer busts over 21. The Player wins if the Player has any 5 cards of 21 or less and the Dealer does not achieve a 5-card hand. The Player loses if
the Dealer has the same total or higher total than the Player with both the Player and Dealer having 4 cards or less.
The Dealer wins all Tied hands in Pontoon - there are no pushes or the Dealer receives any 5 card hand. If the Player has a hand that consists of a 6 and an Ace, it may either be considered a 17 or drop the value to 7. The Ace may count as 1 or 11. The Player may change the value of the Ace as the hand progresses.
