Rules:

The objective of Pontoon is for a player to come as close to 21 without going over, while still having a
higher number than the dealer. Prior to receiving any cards, the player must place a wager. Once the
wager is made, the player is dealt two cards face up. The dealer is also dealt two cards. If the total
value of the player’s cards is closer to 21 than the dealer, the player wins as much as he wagered.
The player wins if the dealer goes over 21.

All cards in pontoon have the same value as they do in standard blackjack. That being the face value
of cards 2 - 9, J, Q, K and 10's are worth 10 and aces are either 11 or 1.
