This is because all of the 10s have been removed from the deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the Kings, Queens, and Jacks still have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/blackjack-card-values\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">value of 10<\/a>, but the cards which are actually numbered with the 10 are no longer in the deck. The Ace card still counts as either 1 or 11, just like in traditional Blackjack. Other than this, the game plays <em>nearly <\/em>identically to normal casino Blackjack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Differences Between Spanish 21 And Blackjack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>In Spanish Blackjack \u2013 or Spanish 21 \u2013 there are only 48 cards in the deck, not 52 as in traditional Blackjack. All of the numbered 10 cards have been removed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>In Spanish Blackjack the player automatically wins when receiving a Blackjack. This is a two-card combination of any King, Queen, or Jack paired with any Ace as the first two cards dealt to the player. The payoff is at 3:2.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>In Spanish Blackjack, if the player AND the Dealer BOTH get a Blackjack at the same time in the same hand, then the Player WINS automatically.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>In Spanish Blackjack, Late Surrender is offered, meaning you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/when-should-you-surrender-in-blackjack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">surrender<\/a> half your bet before any more cards are drawn. Late Surrender is a way to \u201csave\u201d half your bet if you think you can\u2019t win, even after the Dealer checks for Blackjack and does not have it, and after you have drawn cards. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>In Spanish Blackjack, the players can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/double-down-blackjack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">double down<\/a> on any two cards, double down again after the next card, and again after the next card (for up to 3-times in any one hand). So, if you start with a $10 bet, you can double this to $20, then to $40 and then to $80. This means you can quickly raise the size of your bet in advantageous situations, which is especially useful if you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/6-reasons-why-you-should-never-count-cards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">counting cards<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Play Spanish Blackjack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The rules of play for Spanish Blackjack \u2013 or Spanish 21 \u2013 are nearly identical to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blackjack\/how-to-play\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rules of traditional Blackjack<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spanish 21 is usually played with a 6-deck or 8-deck shoe, which has been stripped of all of the 10 numbered cards. In some casinos, the game can also be found as a 2-deck hand-held game, which may be the preferred choice for experienced Blackjack players depending on how deep the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/what-is-deck-penetration-in-blackjack-and-why-its-important\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">penetration<\/a>, as well as other rules, such as hitting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/soft-17-in-blackjack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Soft 17<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>The game begins with the shuffle. After the cards have been shuffled, they are placed in the Dealing Shoe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The dealer will then \u201cBurn\u201d (discard) a required number of cards (usually between 6 and 8 cards off the top of the Shoe). This is to prevent anyone from guessing the order of the cards, and to further make card counting less precise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now the game is ready to begin. The players make their wagers, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/how-to-deal-blackjack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dealer begins to deal from right-to-left<\/a> as the players see it (left-to-right from the dealer\u2019s view).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Each player will be dealt one card face down \u2013 including the dealer \u2013 and then the second card face-up, including the dealer. This is different in Spanish Blackjack, because in most traditional Blackjack games, either both cards will be dealt face-down to all the players, or face-up to all the players, and only the dealer with have the first card face-up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After these procedures have been completed, and depending on the dealer\u2019s up-card, the dealer may now check for Blackjack, ask for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/blackjack-insurance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Insurance<\/a>, and offer Surrender. There may also be other options  depending on what the land-based or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">online casino<\/a> offers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After these processes are completed, each player still in action will then be asked for decisions. These are to stand, hit (draw), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/split-strategy-blackjack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">split<\/a>, or double down. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When all players have made their decisions, the next hand in dealt and the whole procedure begins again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Rule Variations And Bonus Hand Pays In Spanish Blackjack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few other rule variations to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The player\u2019s Blackjack (21) automatically beats the dealer\u2019s Blackjack.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The player can surrender after doubling down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Players can split and re-split aces multiple times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Late Surrender is allowed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Players can double down after splitting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also often additional pays, as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>7-7-7 suited in spades pays 3:1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>7-7-7 suited hand\u00a0pays 2:1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>7-7-7 mixed hand pays 3:2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5-card 21 pays 3:2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>6-card 21\u00a0pays 2:1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>7-or-more card 21 pays 3:1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>6-7-8 suited in spades pays 3:1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>6-7-8 suited hand pays 2:1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>6-7-8 mixed hand\u00a0pays 3:2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These bonus pays may also require a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/blackjack-side-bets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">side bet<\/a>, but that depends on the rules of the game where you happen to be playing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is The House Edge In Spanish Blackjack?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spanish Blackjack has a house edge of about 3.7%, but this may vary depending on some rule variations, as well as whether or not the dealer hits Soft 17 or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, some of the multi-deck Shoe games can have a house edge of about 3%, again depending on some of the rule tweaking which casinos can, and often do, apply to this game variant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Basic Strategy For Spanish 21<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These are a few basic hints and tips for playing Spanish 21:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Always split a pair of Aces<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Never split a pair of 4\u2019s or 5\u2019s<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always stand on hands valued at a hard 18 or higher<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always stand with a pair of 10-value cards: K-K, Q-Q, J-J<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always hit on hard 4 through 8, or on a 12<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always hit on soft 13 or 14 (soft hands include the Ace as 1 or 11)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always double down on two-card hands of 11<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spanish 21 was derived from the traditional game of Blackjack. The only reason for it to exist is to create a game which has a HIGHER house edge than traditional Blackjack, and, therefore, is more lucrative for the casinos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since traditional Blackjack can be played with basic strategy to a house edge of about 0.54%, it is a much better option for your Blackjack play. The house edge in Spanish 21 is about 3.7%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You do not have to be a math genius to see the difference. Furthermore, traditional Blackjack has firmly-designed rules, and these are easier to learn and keep in mind than the sometimes-fluctuating rules and and bonuses in Spanish Blackjack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So my advice is to stick to traditional Blackjack \u2013 and learn to play it well. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spanish Blackjack \u2013 also known as Spanish 21 \u2013 is a casino card game similar to traditional Blackjack, but played&nbsp;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":112,"featured_media":32514,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Spanish 21 vs Blackjack Explained | Simple Rules &amp; Strategy<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Learn how to play Spanish 21 (aka Spanish Blackjack) and understand the key differences between this and traditional casino blackjack.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/spanish-21-vs-blackjack\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Spanish 21 vs Blackjack Explained | Simple Rules &amp; Strategy\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Learn how to play Spanish 21 (aka Spanish Blackjack) and understand the key differences between this and traditional casino blackjack.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/spanish-21-vs-blackjack\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Casino.org Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Casino.OrgNews\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-07-08T10:30:29+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-07-08T10:30:30+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/blackjack.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Victor H.
