Variants
| | | Spanish 21 provides players with many liberal blackjack rules, such as doubling down any number of cards (with the option to `rescue`, or surrender only one wager to the house), payout bonuses for five or more card 21`s, 6-7-8 21`s, 7-7-7 21`s, late surrender, and player blackjacks always winning and player 21`s always winning, at the cost of having no 10 cards in the deck (though there are jacks, queens, and kings). While most variations of Spanish 21 have a higher house edge than "standard" Blackjack. However, using a basic strategy specifically designed for Spanish 21, as opposed to regular Blackjack basic strategy, can result in a Spanish 21 game with a lower house edge than Blackjack. Another casino game similar to blackjack is Pontoon.
Certain rules changes are employed to create new variant games. These changes, while attracting the novice player, actually increase the house edge in these games. Double Exposure Blackjack is a variant in which the dealer`s cards are both face-up. This game increases house edge by paying even money on blackjacks and players losing ties. Double Attack Blackjack has very liberal blackjack rules and the option of increasing one`s wager after seeing the dealer`s up card. This game is dealt from a Spanish shoe, and blackjacks only pay even money.
The French and German variant "Vingt-et-un" (Twenty-one) and "Siebzehn und Vier" (Seventeen and Four) don`t include splitting. An ace can only count as eleven, but two aces count as a Blackjack. This variant is seldom found in casinos, but in private circles and barracks.
Chinese Blackjack is played by many in Asia, having no splitting of cards, but with other card combination regulations.
Another variant is Blackjack Switch, a version of blackjack in which a player is dealt two hands and is allowed to switch cards. For example, if the player is dealt 10-6 and 10-5, then the player can switch two cards to make hands of 10-10 and 6-5. Natural blackjacks are paid 1:1 instead of the standard 3:2, and a dealer 22 is a push.
