Pontoonby Digital Gaming Solutions

Play a single hand of this British favoured version of blackjack against the dealer. Pontoon (blackjack) pays 2:1 rather than the weak 3:2 or 6:5 players may be accustomed to. Also, unlike American blackjack, you can score a Pontoon after splitting cards. American players may know the Five Card Trick as a “Charlie” - hold a hand with five cards not exceeding 21 for a winner at the same payout as a Pontoon..

Players must Twist (take a hit) up to 14 but may stick on 15 or higher (unless five cards). Players may also hit a hand after doubling down. Double on any 2, 3, or 4 cards but only double once per hand. Double after split and double once each split hand. No re-splitting is allowed. Dealer will hit soft 17 but will stop on 5th card regardless of the count. Dealer takes all pushes except 21.
