I think I will differ on thatas I have said earlier, since they are both "21 Games" however pontoon is not Blackjack. In Blackjack an ace and a Ten is a "Blackjack" (hence the name) in Pontoon, its called "Pontoon (hence the name). If a casino banned "21 Games" that would include Pontoon. If you ban Blackjack, that wouldn't include Pontoon.
Its similar to if a casino banned "American Roulette", that wouldn't include all roulette's.
