Beginner players should take note that the most important aim of any blackjack game is to beat the Dealer’s hand and this can be achieved in 2 different ways. Firstly the player can obtain a hand which is stronger than the dealer’s (without exceeding 21) or alternatively, the dealer’s hand must go bust before the player’s. Pontoon, or blackjack, occurs when you obtain a hand comprising an Ace as well as a card value of ten. It is the strongest hand one can hold.

Here are some basic definitions of terminology that you will need to understand before you play the game or any other blackjack game:

• Hit: Take another card.
• Stand: Take no more cards.
• Double down: Double the bet, take exactly one more card, and then stand.
• Split: This option is available only when both cards have the same value. The bet is doubled  and each card becomes the first card in a new hand.
• Surrender: Forfeit half the bet and give up the hand.

Take note of the following rules regarding Pontoon Gold before you play for real money.

1. You may only bet on one hand per game.
2. The Dealer peeks at his two cards to check for a Pontoon. If the Dealer has Pontoon, the game is over.
