Pontoon
 Pontoon is very similar to Blackjack, in this game Blackjack (10 and an Ace) is known as Pontoon. Pontoon wins the same way as Blackjack does.
Besides having the highest hand, another way to win is to have a hand of 5 cards adding up to 21 or less. The dealers cards are both dealt face down and the dealer wins all ties.
