Spanish 21 Blackjack

Spanish 21 is a variation of blackjack
that is one of the best bets in a casino. In
locations where the dealer stands on a
soft 17 or redoubling is allowed,
Spanish 21 is probably a better bet than
blackjack, depending on the specific
blackjack rules. If you are looking for a
change of pace from traditional blackjack
but insist on a game with a low house
edge you may find new excitement in
Spanish 21.

Rules
Spanish 21 uses six or eight Spanish decks, each deck consisting of 48 cards -- the regular 52
cards less the four tens. Any card counter can tell you that removing any 10-point card from the
cards moves the odds in favor of the dealer. To make up for this Spanish 21 gives to the player a
host of bonuses and favorable rules. The rules are based on liberal 6-8 deck blackjack rules,
including double after split, late surrender, and resplitting aces. In addition Spanish 21 offers the
follows rule enhancements:

A player 21 always wins.
Player blackjack beats dealer blackjack.
Player may double on any number of cards.
Player may hit usually and double down after splitting aces (some casinos no longer allow this).
Player may surrender half of total bet after doubling down (known as "double down rescue.")
A five-card 21 pays 3 to 2, a six-card 21 pays 2 to 1, a seven or more card 21 pays 3 to 1. However
the bonuses are not paid if the player doubled.
A 6-7-8 or 7-7-7 of mixed suits pays 3:2, of the same suit pays 2:1, and of spades pays 3:1.
Suited 7-7-7 when the dealer has a seven face up pays $1000 for bets of $5-$24 and $5000 for bets
of $25 or over. In addition, all other players receive a $50 "envy bonus." This rule does not apply after
splitting.

Variable Rules:

Dealer may hit or stand on a soft 17.
Usually 6 or 8 Spanish decks are used.
