How to Play
This game is arithmetic and is played using a table that has the same layout as that of blackjack. In every deal the players aim to have cards that total more in face value than that of the dealer but the total should not exceed 21 which will be termed as a bust and thereby the player will lose. When a player gets a total card value of 21 that consists of an ace and any other card with a value of 10 they will be deemed to be a pontoon and will pay extra. A player’s pontoon will always be better than a dealer’s pontoon. This game is either played from a shoe or a continuous shuffling machine (CSM) which is 4-deck just like Spanish 21. The standard shoe-games use 6 or 8 regular decks which are usually 52 cards minus the ten spot cards.
