Pontoon Variations Introduction Guide
The game of Twenty-one is incredibly diverse. Unlike some other games, the Black-jack player isn't limited to the same game more than and over. Every single variation of Black jack has its personal set of rules. It's critical to know these ahead of diving in. In case you bet on 1 variation like another, you might end up losing dollars. Several variations are minor, but others require their personal system of play. Here are a few variations from the traditional Vegas Chemin de fer, which comes in 2 forms-Downtown and Vegas Strip.
European Black jack
European Black-jack is bet with 2 decks. The dealer must stand on soft Seventeen. Unlike the regular game of Chemin de fer, in European Black-jack, gamblers can only double down on Nine and Eleven. This may be a serious restriction to those highly aggressive gamblers that like doubling on just about anything when the croupier has a 5 or Six showing. Players aren't allowed to split right after a splitting once nor can they double down on a split. There's no surrender option. The house has a 0.39% home edge.
Atlantic City Pontoon
This version of Black jack is played in a shoe with Eight decks of cards. The croupier should stand on soft Seventeen-like and Ace and a 6. Players are allowed to double on first two cards and appropriate immediately after a split. Splits might be re-split to form up to 3 total hands. The croupier checks for Chemin de fer before the hand continues, and late surrender is allowed. Atlantic City Pontoon has 0.35% house benefit.
Double Exposure Twenty-one
Numerous players flock to Double Exposure Black jack, because they think the benefit is in their favor. In this variation, both dealer cards are dealt face up. Sounds wonderful correct? Ace-H, but here's the rub. The croupier wins all ties except Twenty-one. Here's yet another. Black-jack only pays even dollars. There is no bonus for getting it. The game is bet with a shoe and Eight decks of cards. The croupier hits on soft Seventeen. It is possible to re-split hands to make up to 4 separate hands. Here's a further downside. It is possible to only double down on difficult Nine and 11. Also, if you ever split aces, you get one particular final card on every single. The house benefit on Double Exposure Blackjack is 0.69%.
