How to Play
Spanish 21:
The Game
If
you're looking for a little change from
the traditional Blackjack table, this might
be the game for you. Originally introduced
in Nevada, in 1995, it is played very closely
to the rules governing Blackjack; however,
it uses 6 "Spanish deck", which consist
of 48 cards. All the ten-spot cards are
removed from the decks.
By removing
the ten cards, it has a profound effect
on the player's odds. To compensate for
this off balance in the odds, the casino
has added some very liberal playing rules
and made the payouts more rewarding.
Rules
When
playing Spanish 21, the rules are similar
to Blackjack; however, the following enhanced
rules apply:
- Player's
21 always wins over the dealer's 21.
- Player's
Blackjack always wins over the dealer's
Blackjack. (Pay's out 3:2).
- Outside
of 21 and Blackjack, all other ties are
pushed.
- Player
can double down on any number of cards,
even after splits.
- Player
is allowed to split pairs, including aces,
up to four hands.
- After
receiving the first two cards, the player
is allowed to surrender, for which they
would only lose half their bet. However,
surrendering when the dealer has Blackjack
is not permitted.
- Dealer
hits on a soft 17.
- The player
can perform a double down rescue; where
you're able to surrender the original
bet, and save the double down bet.
