Blackjack, 21s, pontoon. What ever you want to call it, it is now here with a unique twist.

Perfect Pairs is a type of Blackjack game that you can play for real money.
If you already know how to play online Blackjack you just need to check out the Perfect Pairs section.
For those of you who don’t know how to play Blackjack online, it is really simple. All you need to do is be able to count to 21.
- You will be dealt two cards. The aim of the game is to get Blackjack (cards totalling 21) but obviously this is completely luck based and not always possible. So your aim is to get the cards to total as near to 21 as possible, but don’t go over 21 as you are then bust and lose that round.
- Each card will have a number on it and this is what it is worth. If you have a jack, queen or king, they are worth 10 and an ace is worth 1 or 11 (you get to choose what the ace is worth, and can change your mind as you go a long).
- So you get dealt two cards at the start. The total of these will be displayed, so all you have to do is decide whether to hit (get another card will help you get closer to 21), or stick (you are happy with the total and don't want to risk going over 21 anymore on this hand).

- You need to get a higher total than the dealer in order to win.

Layout
The layout is simple, it is spaced out so you can see what is happening and the main rules are written on the table, making the game easier to play. Perfect Pairs is a good game, however it can be a bit slow and disjointed at times so you need to be a little bit patient with it.

Final thoughts
This game is essentially Blackjack with a slight twist, that you can completely ignore if you want to. I do enjoy a game of 21s, however, this game can be slow and hesitant which becomes annoying after a while, especially if you want to play at a fast pace.
If you just want a good game of Pontoon, I would recommend Blackjack as it runs more smoothly and is the traditional game of 21 rather than trying to add a twist to a classic game
