FWIW, I think the player was asking for trouble by playing Pontoon without clarifying the meaning of the terms. That said, when you offer games called 'Blackjack', 'Blackjack Pro', 'Blackjack Progressive', 'Blackjack Surrender', 'all sorts of blackjack' would seem to refer to these games.

I think 'sorts' is a somewhat narrower construction than 'variants'. A ariant of a game is a related game. But 'all sorts' is simply 'all blackjack games'. Pontoon is not a sort of blackjack. It is a ariant of blackjack. There are no blackjack games where the player loses pushes, as you do in pontoon. There are no blackjack games where you can double with any number of cards. There are no blackjack games where you get paid 2-1 for a blackjack or for a 5-card trick.

OTOH, the four blackjack games on offer *all* have standard bj rules (they differe in hole card, hitting soft 17, number of decks, etc.).

So pontoon is *not* blackjack. It is a *variant* of blackjack.

I think the casino have rather admitted this in their updated wording.

It says

"any blackjack games and Pontoon."

that is AND. Not "any blackjack games (including pontoon)" (which would be framed as a clarification to indicate that blackjack includes pontoon). It is any blackjack games AND ALSO pontoon.

Why would you update your terms in this way, if you really believed that pontoon is blackjack.
