Its quite simple, Named 'Backjack, 21, or Pontoon'

The Idea is to make 21 or less with the cards dealt.

You take face value of first two cards dealt and add them together (Ace can be 1 or 11, all picture cards are 10).

Then on the the value of those cards you decide wether to take another or stick, rule of thumb is to seriously think about sticking on 16 or above, however if you stick on less then 18 you cud get beaten more often then not.

If you go over you bust. Ace and Picture Card, is instant winner and can not be beaten, altho a 5 card hand is powerfull (5 cards adding up to less than 21), not sure if that beats a 21 as described above though. That is if the 5 hand card is in their rules tho.

There is a split feature in Blackjack, if you get 2 cards of same value u can split them, to play 2 hands simultaniously, this can give you two chances to win on same hand, but will cost you more. Can't remember if this is in their version tho.

I didnt play Blackjack much, I prefer the poker tables in Port Royal.
