Complaining:
Casinos want to take your money, even if you are not rich and only come to the casino with 50 dollars to play the nickel slots the casinos want your money, and if you complain about something they will offer you at the very least a free meal in one of the casinos restaurants just to make you happy. The louder you complain the more you will usually get, but make sure no to get to loud or they will have you removed for making a scene in the casino.

Pretend to be a Big Shot:
Have a friend call the casino and tell them that he is your personal assistant and he is looking to stay in the casino but he has some requests. If the casino believes you are calling for someone who may spend a large amount of money in the casino they may give you a free room, stock the bar with anything you request from $1,000 dollar bottles of Champaign to bowls of only the blue M&M candies.

Free Room:
Many casinos give players free alcohol to loosen them up with the hoes they will spend more money and the more they drink the worse their judgment will get and they will lose more money to the casinos, but if a players leaves the casino gets into his car and gets into an accident everyone involved with the accident has a case against the casino. So many casinos will give a drunken player a room at no charge for the night because it is cheaper then a multi million dollar lawsuit.

Comp Card:
Casinos offer players the ability to earn free food, lodging and even money to playing the casinos with. They do this, just like everything else they do is in the hopes that you will return often to build up your comp points. The points are given out in accordance with your bets. Bigger bets will get you more points faster, but don’t blow your money just trying to get these points, in my opinion it is cheaper to pay for the meal rather then loose several hundred dollars to earn one.

Ignorance is No Excuse:
Often the casinos may make you an offer of a line of credit or depending on how well you are doing the casino may offer to get you a room for the night. If they are offering you a free room they will tell you they are offering you a room, if they offer to get you a room it just means they do the check in process for you. In the morning you have to pay for that room. The same goes for money make sure you know if they are extending you credit or if they are giving you some chips on the house. You do not want to spend the casinos money and not be able to pay it back.

Always remember the casinos bring you in with promises of riches, and if them giving you a few small items for free will make you stay longer or come back more often they will be happy to do it, you just have to ask.

If you’ve played Blackjack, you can probably skip this tutorial and check out one of the other articles on this site about Pontoon.

This article will assume you don’t know anything about the game. The goal is to get you up and playing within minutes from now.

Pontoon is generally played with two decks of cards and those decks are shuffled after every hand. To start playing, you must put a wager down.

Once all bets are in, the hand begins with each player and the dealer receiving two cards. The cards are worth their face value. For instance, the two of clubs is worth two. All face cards are worth 10 and the Ace can be one or 11-your choice.

The goal is technically to beat the dealer. However, the usual goal listed in books is to get as close to 21 without going over. So, keep that in mind when you start to play.

When it’s your turn, you have various options. First, if you like your hand as is, just stand, which means to end your turn for the hand.

Should your hand need some work, you can take a hit, which means to take one card. If your hand is 21 or less, you can then hit again or stand. If your hand goes over 21, you bust and you lose. This is why the dealer goes last. It gives the casino an edge.

If you have 5 cards and have 21 or less, you’ll win unless the dealer does the same thing. It’s important to note that the dealer wins all ties.

When you stand with 4 or fewer cards, your hand count must beat the dealer’s hand count. The dealer will hit on soft 17, which means a 17 that was created using an Ace.

I can’t stress this enough. The dealer wins all ties. Think about this when you’re playing. Should the dealer have 21 or less with five cards, you lose-period.

Another option you have it splitting. If your first two cards are the same, such as 7,7 or Q,Q, you can split them and make two separate hands-adding another wager of equal value to your original bet.

Your last option when it’s your turn is doubling. You’ve probably heard “double down” a billion times. Well, in Pontoon, you can double down. When you double down, you increase your wager and draw another card. In Pontoon, you can hit after doubling too.

The payouts are pretty simple. If you win with a two-card 21, which is called a Pontoon, you get paid 2-1. So, a $10 wager earns $20. Another way to earn a 2-1 payout is by having a five-card hand and being at 21 or under.

All other winning hands pay even money. And there you have it. Pontoon the easy way.
