If a player's first two cards are an ace and a "ten-card" (a picture card or 10), giving a count of 21 in two cards, this is a natural or "blackjack." If any player has a natural and the dealer does not, the dealer immediately pays that player one and a half times the amount of their bet.

Spanish 21 is similar to traditional Blackjack but with more options and payouts. One difference is that all numbered 10  cards are removed from the deck leaving 48 cards in each deck. Jacks, Queens and Kings count as 10. Aces count as 1 or 11 (whatever is to the Player's advantage).

It is a game of chance and luck, but the rules and strategies used by the casinos give them an advantage over the players. However, this does not mean that players cannot win at Blackjack. With the right strategy and luck, anyone can score big in this popular casino game.

A key difference between Blackjack and Spanish 21 is that all 10s are removed from the deck in Spanish 21. A Blackjack occurs when the first two cards that are dealt equal 21  a combination of a face card (Jack, Queen, or King) and an Ace (which can have a value of 1 or 11, depending on your hand).
