Play Pontoon at All Slots Casino Online

The All Slots online casino press desk invites all its members to play Pontoon this week. The press release says that Pontoon is a UK style blackjack game, but you do not have to travel to Great Britain any more to play a good game of Pontoon. Courtesy All Slots online casino players can wager on Pontoon from anywhere in the world.

Though the objective of Pontoon is similar to blackjack, the vocabulary and the rules are different. Playing Pontoon at All Slots online casino will help players become familiar with the terms so they will not feel lost if they go to a Pontoon table in a land casino. There are four major differences. When the player does not want any more cards he will not "stand" but will "stick". When the player does wants another card he will not "hit" but will "twist". If the player has a great hand he will not "double down" but will "buy". And above all a dealt two card total of 21 is not a "blackjack" but is a "Pontoon".

The All Slots online casino press release also explains the difference in rules. Starting with the bad news, the press release says both of the dealer's cards are dealt face down and the dealer wins all ties. However the good news is that there are other rules that are advantageous to the player and more than compensate. A Pontoon pays out at 2 to 1, which is significantly better than the 3 to 2 payout in blackjack. Pontoon has a special hand called the "5-card trick", which is any non-busted hand with five cards. A 5-card trick beats any dealer's hand except a Pontoon, even a hand of higher numerical value, and pays out at 2 to 1. In blackjack players have to double down on the first two cards only but Pontoon allows players to buy with two, three, or four cards in the hand.

However, this week's big winners list at All Slots online casino does not figure Pontoon. As usual it is dominated by online slot games, but has many players from Scandinavia. All Slots allows players to wager in both the Swedish and Danish currencies. Christer A won SEK 31,940 playing Tomb Raider at the All Slots mobile casino. Carolina A won SEK 14,000 on the slot game Burning Desire. This Valentine's Day themed slot game is popular all the year round because of its 243 ways to win feature. Inge Marie E from Denmark won DKK 13,560 on Summertime, an appropriate slot game for this season.

All Slots online casino is powered by software from Microgaming and is licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. It is a brand of the Jackpot Factory group.
