Spanish 21

Spanish 21 is blackjack with the tens taken out of every deck. A long list of player-friendly rules pays for their absence.

What this game changes

Removing the tens costs the player about two percent, so the game gives it back. Late surrender and doubling are allowed on any number of cards, and redoubling is allowed. A player total of twenty one always beats the dealer, and a player blackjack always beats a dealer blackjack. Twenty one made from five cards or more pays a bonus.

Strategy and grading

No solved chart for this table yet

A chart for this table has not been published yet. Every chart here is solved from the rules of its own game, and this game is not solved yet.

Coach mode is off here as a result. This site will not grade your hand against a chart built for another game. That chart would mark correct decisions wrong.

The table itself deals normally, so you can play the game exactly as it stands.

If a chart is solved for this game, it appears here and coach mode switches back on.

This game is next in the queue for a solved chart.
