About VIP Pontoon
Bet-soft has carved a niche for itself as a premium game developer, but not only is Bet-soft at the frontlines of the gaming software industry, it also has some of the best versions of blackjack and from that line of blackjack variants comes VIP Pontoon. While VIP Pontoon maintains some traditional aspects of blackjack (such as the race to hit 21 without going bust), there are slight alterations that give it its unique status. One of such alterations to the traditional game that gives VIP Pontoon is unique status is sweet-sixteen bonus as well as certain card combinations. However, despite all these variations, the game is quite straightforward: the object of the game remains the same – to get a pair of cards with a total value of twenty-one or a total higher than that of the dealer’s without going bust. Albeit, you’ll find it very useful to skim through the Help Menu to get acquainted with this variant. You’d find the Help menu in the lower left region of the screen. Contained in it is a guide of card combinations that can enhance your winning prospects.
Special Features
Along the bottom of the screen is a quartet of gameplay options nicely arranged for easy identification and access. These options are double, split, clear and deal. Extra options (such as hit and stand) become available after cards have being dealt. However, VIP Pontoon does not allow players to place an insurance bet.
You can place chips on any of three possible spots that you’d like to be dealt cards to. The possible chip values that can be imputed in the Place Bet spots include one, five, twenty-five, one hundred and five hundred. These values can be clearly seen in the lower, right hand region of the screen. You can also regulate the speed levels of the game depending on whether you like a controlled or fast pace. Options to regulate the speed levels of the game can be found just above the chips in the form of arrows indicating the different speed levels.
Bonus Feature
VIP Pontoon comes with a special bonus feature called the sweet-sixteen bonus which provides the player extra side bonus bets. However, the game’s bonus feature only becomes assessable after you land a winning combo.
