The game was trademarked by Colorado<\/strong>-based gaming company Masque Publishing Inc<\/strong>. Spanish blackjack game first appeared under that name in 1995<\/strong> making it the latest revival of the classic card game.<\/p>\n Nowadays, Spanish 21 boasts its precedence over any other blackjack variant. There are many reasons to justify this statement.<\/p>\n First of all, the game offers a bigger and more sustainable RTP<\/strong>, decreasing thus the house edge. With such player-friendly<\/strong> circumstances, it is no wonder that a growing number of professional players are choosing Spanish blackjack.<\/p>\n Namely, the house edge in Spanish 21 is always around 0.40%, which is not always the case with the standard variant. In contrast, the world-popular classic variation can indeed have an extremely low house edge \u2013 as seen in our comprehensive article<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n However, there are also some blackjack versions with tricky rules that largely boost the house edge. Such mishaps never occur with Spanish blackjack.<\/p>\n Spanish blackjack is more profitable<\/strong> than any other similar variation. Why? Other than the RTP, the rules give players an advantage. Namely, the dealer stands at soft 17, making the game more predictable per se.<\/p>\n What\u2019s more, players are allowed to re-double and re-split, even Aces. Not many similar card games allow this luxury.<\/p>\n On the other hand, according to the same Spanish 21 rules, all the tens are removed from the shoe. In turn, theoretically speaking, the absence of tens gives the house advantage.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, all that this change requires of you is to tweak your strategy. Let us tell you how.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The main difference between regular and Spanish blackjack is that in the latter, the player\u2019s natural always wins.<\/strong><\/p>\n But let\u2019s go a little bit more in-depth and compare the two variants in detail.<\/p>\n So, the Spanish blackjack game is playable with either one, six, or eight decks<\/strong> with all<\/strong> tens removed<\/strong>. While the smaller number of cards<\/strong> in the deck ( 48<\/strong>) strengthens the casino advantage, don\u2019t fret. To counterbalance the house favor, Spanish blackjack offers a range of player-favorable traits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The so-called Pirate 21<\/strong> has a general house edge of 0.40%<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n On top of that, in blackjack, when both the player and the dealer have a natural, a push<\/strong> is announced. On the other hand, in Spanish blackjack, if both sides hit 21, it is always the player who wins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n So, it doesn\u2019t matter what cards the croupier holds if you have a 21 in your hand.<\/p>\n Moving on, whenever you hit a natural, you qualify for a so-called Bonus 21<\/strong>.<\/p>\n For example, if you use 5 cards to make 21, you get a 3:2 payout. Furthermore, a 6-card twenty-one pays 2:1. The best-case scenario includes a suited, spaded sevens combination, paying 3:1.<\/p>\nWhat Is Spanish 21?<\/h2>\n
