The game of Chemin de fer is really diverse. Unlike some other games, the Chemin de fer player isn’t limited to the same game over and over. Each variation of Pontoon has its own set of rules. It’s crucial to know these prior to diving in. If you bet on a single variation like another, you might end up losing cash. A few variations are minor, but others require their own system of bet on. Here are a handful of variations from the traditional Vegas Black-jack, which comes in 2 types-Downtown and Sin City Strip.

European Pontoon

European Blackjack is wagered with 2 decks. The dealer should stand on soft Seventeen. Unlike the regular game of Twenty-one, in European Chemin de fer, players can only double down on Nine and Eleven. This could be a serious limitation to those highly aggressive gamblers that love doubling on just about anything when the croupier has a 5 or Six showing. Gamblers are not allowed to split following a splitting once nor can they double down on a split. There’s no surrender option. The house has a 0.39% home benefit.

Atlantic City Twenty-one

This variation of Blackjack is played in a shoe with 8 decks of cards. The dealer need to stand on soft Seventeen-like and Ace and a Six. Gamblers are allowed to double on first 2 cards and appropriate right after a split. Splits is usually re-split to form up to Three total hands. The dealer checks for Pontoon ahead of the hand continues, and late surrender is allowed. Atlantic City Chemin de fer has 0.35% home benefit.

Double Exposure Black-jack

A lot of gamblers flock to Double Exposure Blackjack, simply because they think the benefit is in their favor. In this variation, both dealer cards are dealt face up. Sounds wonderful right? A Hearts, but here’s the rub. The croupier wins all ties except Black-jack. Here’s yet another. Pontoon only pays even cash. There is no bonus for getting it. The game is played with a shoe and Eight decks of cards. The dealer hits on soft Seventeen. You possibly can re-split hands to make up to 4 separate hands. Here’s another downside. You’ll be able to only double down on hard Nine and Eleven. Also, in case you split aces, you get 1 final card on each. The home advantage on Double Exposure Black jack is 0.69%.
