Spanish Blackjack At Australian Online Casinos

Added: August 13, 2015

Spanish Blackjack is a popular variant of blackjack available at Australian online casinos powered by Microgaming. Its unique feature is that the deck has only 48 cards. All the tens are removed from the deck. Spanish Blackjack offers an average return of 99.5%, which is makes it on par with other online blackjack games.

The rules and game play of Spanish Blackjack are similar to the more common online blackjack variants. The game is played with eight Spanish decks. The dealer checks for blackjack when his face up card has a value of 10 or is an ace. The dealer hits on a hand value of soft 17. Players can split cards having the same value. A player can split a maximum of three times in a game and can double down after a split. The usual insurance bet is offered but should never be placed.

Spanish Blackjack offers bonus payouts for special combinations of hands that yield a value of 21. This feature is not available in the usual blackjack variants and is one of the attractions. The biggest bonus payout is 50 to 1 given when the player is dealt three sevens of the same suit and the dealer’s face up card is also a seven. Certain combinations pay 3 to 1. These include a hand with seven cards or more; six, seven and eight of spades and three sevens of spades. The following combinations pay a bonus of 2 to 1: any six card 21; six, seven and eight of the same suit and three sevens of the same suit. A payout of 3 to 2 is given for any five card 21; six, seven and eight of a mixed suit and three sevens of a mixed suit.
