Though there are some basic
differences, playing pontoon
is just like playing
blackjack. In playing
pontoon, each player and the
dealer has to deal two cards
that are facing down. The
dealer has the power of
looking into own cards but
these have to remain facing
down until all the players
have already completed their
own hands. It is called
pontoon when the dealer
already had an ace and a
10-point card. The dealer
then has to turn the cards
facing up while all other
pontoon players will lose
such a hand to the dealer.
If no player can get a
"fragment" when the first
two cards are dealt, the
goal is to get a number
closer to 21. Anything above
that number is likely to
lose the hand. If the sum is
less than 15, the player may
claim another card by
ordering a hit or buying a
new card. If prompted, you
will be given the card face
up and if purchased face
down. This may continue
until the player has a
number higher than 15 but
not higher than 21. The
player must "stand" once
they are satisfied with the
hand.
When all players have
already completed their
hand, the dealer must play
his hand. The dealer is not
allowed to stand when the
score of cards is less than
17. If the dealer is busted
i.e. if his cards are more
than 21 then he has to pay
all players based on their
hand. If the dealer's score
is anywhere from 17 to 21,
the dealer may actually be
able to stand but has to pay
all other players whose
score is higher than his
hand. whose score is higher
than his hand.
There are two ways of
beating 21. First is through
a pontoon, that is, an ace
and a 10-poin card. Second
is through having a 5-card
trick. Such a trick occurs
when the player was able to
have five cards in total
which score is lower than
21. These are paid out with
a 2 to 1 ratio when they
beat the hand of the dealer.
However, if the dealer has a
pontoon or a 5-card trick,
the player having the 5-card
trick as well will not be
paid.
In pontoon, there is a
possibility of splitting the
hand. If the first 2 cards
of the player have the same
value, the player may split
the hand and then play the
two sets. You may play both
hands wherein the dealer has
to provide you with two
extra cards. Of course, you
have to play both hands as
you would normally do with a
single hand. The payout will
be also the same as the
normal payout.
Evidently, playing pontoon
can be very exciting and
even new players can win big
sums of payout. As a player,
you will have control on
hitting, buying and
standing. While playing
pontoon appears to be
simplistic, you still need
to learn some strategies.
