any five card hand or a
Pontoon black jack
(same thing as a blackjack)
pay 2 to 1, including after splitting. However there is no dealer up card and the dealer
wins on ties.
Pontoon black jack is played with eight 52 card decks.
All cards have the same value as in blackjack.
The ranking value of hands in pontoon is as follows:
A pontoon is an ace and any 10point card, including after
splitting
five card trick = any 5 card hand that has not busted.
non busted hand of 21 points of less with 4 or less cards.
Hands will be ranked within this group accordingly
busted hand
Each player gets two cards face up and two cards face down
go to the dealer.
The dealer will peek at his cards for a pontoon. If the
dealer has a pontoon he will immediately turn it over and collect all wagers and cards.
The player stands on any total greater or equal to 15, or
on any 5card hand.
The player can hit at any point, including after doubling.
The player can double on 2 to 4 cards, but only once per
hand. The option includes after splitting, and once for each split hand.
The player can split two cards of equal rank.
you can resplit once, up to a total of three hands. On splits the first card dealt to each
hand shall be automatic.
busts = immediate loss.
After all players have played the dealer
shows his cards. He draws cards until a total of 17 points or more are
showing, hitting soft 17s. The dealer also stops on any five card hand.
A pontoon (five card hand) pays 2 to 1. All
other wins pay even money.

Honest RTG Casino Pays
$40,000 to Suspected Cheater
Some out of work programmer beat a bunch of RTG (realtimegaming)
software casinos out of around 1.3 million. A controversy began
because his accounts were froze at all the RTG casinos while they
investigated things more thoroughly; looking for any type of
fraud.
It was determined he may/maynot have used a program to win which
breaks the terms of service contract but even if it exists,
according to RTG themselves; it would merely ensure perfect
strategy play and nothing else;
So he should get paid right?
well the long/short of it is that he was paid... by the one set
of RTG casinos I listed at that time. They no longer are listed here
as they changed management and when they did they just were never the
same.
Those of you that
visit my site(s) regularly know that these are the only RTG casinos
which I have listed for some time now, with the exception
of one other casino which incidentally wasn't mentioned in the MSNBC
article so I must assume the guy never played there.
This is a huge feather
in my cap as nobody could deny it makes me look damn good that these
are the only RTG casinos I have/had listed.
