Spanish Blackjack or Pontoon as it’s called in Australia and Malaysia has become a very well liked and accepted game amongst the online gamblers.
The game is played using 8 Spanish decks of cards each with 48 cards which is the normal 52 deck without the four 10 cards.
With the exclusion of the 10’s the house edge is higher and the odds moved in favour of the dealer. To balance this the player is given a number of bonuses build on 6-8 deck blackjack rules – double after split, later surrender and re-splitting the Aces.
It is important to know that the players blackjack hand always beats the dealers blackjack and he is allowed to double on any number of cards.
