Spanish 21 is a variation of blackjack, considered to be the world's most popular casino card game. The glaring difference between the two is that Spanish 21 makes no use of the 10 cards, which should appeal to casino gamblers and blackjack players who love a good challenge. You have a higher house edge, but more attractive payouts, bonuses, and rule modifications to provide a reasonable balance.
The Object of the Game
With Spanish 21 as with blackjack, your goal is not to get as close as possible to 21, as it is falsely believed by many. The game's true object is to beat the dealer with a higher hand than his, without going over 21. You can win as much with a 14 as with a 20, so 21 is not a goal but a limit. If the dealer has a higher hand than yours, without exceeding 21, then he wins the game. For his part, the dealer follows a separate set of Spanish 21 rules that govern his card play, and having an understanding of these rules is equally key to winning.
