Expert opinion

Pontoon is an unofficial kind of Spanish 21, which is played using from four to eight 48-card decks (without tens) and has some specific rules. It resembles the so-called British blackjack, which is also called British Pontoon. Its main difference from the traditional version is the use of standard decks and replacement of the classic terms by the original ones (pontoon, twist, stick and buy instead of blackjack, hit, stand and double).

The range of Net Entertainment includes Pontoon Professional Series, which is British Pontoon. We recommend that you should become familiar with this fascinating card game with very low house edge.
