Pontoon Blackjack (GamesOS)

Pontoon Game Review

Pontoon is an older version of what we now know as Blackjack. This variant utilizes eight standard decks of cards, a contrast to the four decks often used in traditional Blackjack. The objective remains the same: aim for a hand value as close to 21 as possible without exceeding it, while also surpassing the Dealer's hand. A five-card hand that hasn't busted, or a pontoon (equivalent to a blackjack), offers a payout of 2 to 1, even after splitting. Players can re-split their hands, creating up to a maximum of three hands. However, the Dealer's initial card remains hidden, and the Dealer is victorious in the event of a tie.
