As in non-bonus situations.

I did the InterCasino montly reload 100% up to $100 and turned that into $400.

I got bored today so I played another $100 w/o a bonus and turned that into another $400 within 30 min. I know I can't expect results like this every day obviously.

I dunno if I'm getting lucky or if I'm a pontoon shark, but can playing this game regularly be profitable w/o bonuses and such?

There's nothing magic about Pontoon (or your play - sorry.)

The House Advantage is smaller for Crypto Pontoon than the HA for BJ, but the variance is higher. Meaning your average take will be slightly larger with Pontoon, but you'll get more extreme variety of results ($400, bust, $50, $150, etc.)

Congratulations on the great run! Just remember this run so you won't whine when you meet the other side of variance.

On ereason I like to play Pontoon to clear bonuses is because it has brisk play -- no peek round.
I'm a know-it-all.




No, really.

No casino game is profitable without bonuses, unless you're counting cards in BJ, switching bets in Roulette, etc.

Sounds good. I'll take my +$700 and run then, lol.
