Players achieve "Pontoon" when the initial 1 cards are an Ace with either a King, Queen or Jack.
The objective of the game is to draw cards totaling 21 or close to, but not exceeding 21. "Pontoon" and point total of "21" will be paid immediately.
The dealer must draw until hard total of 17 or greater is achieved. (As compared to Blackjack where Dealer must stand on soft 17.
Players can surrender half of the initial bet only when the dealer's first card is an Ace or any Picture cards. However, if dealer achieves Pontoon the surrender will be considered void.
Players can double their bet on any 2 initial cards. If the initial cards consist of an "Ace", the face value of the cards will be 1 and not 11.

After doubling, you will have the option to play or lose the original bet only.
All payments will be made in accordance to the "Pontoon Payout Odds".
