Spanish Blackjack

There are many blackjack variants currently available on the market today in the online world, but there are few that offer a better all around gaming experience than Spanish Blackjack. It is also referred to as Spanish 21 in some places and in others it has also been called Pontoon. There are a number of different variants of Spanish Blackjack available on the market so the rules are not that precise and this is essentially one of the main problems that online casinos had when they were bringing the game into the online arena.

Spanish Blackjack has one notable difference from all of the other blackjack games around and that difference is that it removes the 10s from the deck, playing the game with 48-card decks instead of 52-card decks and in doing so creating an advantage for the dealer. However, at the same time it is also important to note that the game has many liberal advantages for the player to make up for this, making it one of the best games from the point of view of odds in the casino. When the player gets twenty-one, they automatically win the game in Spanish Blackjack. In addition to that, player blackjack trumps dealer blackjack while a player can double at any time they want to. They can also even hit and double after splitting aces, something that is not usually allowed in the other variants. These are just some of the rules that you might see enacted in a Spanish Blackjack game, but the large amount of variation within the rules from casino to casino means that there is no single set of rules that universally applies to Spanish Blackjack. This means also that online casinos can change the rules to their favor and many online casinos have done this for Spanish Blackjack. Many have not however, so you can still get a very good game of Spanish Blackjack in many different places online.
