While nearly everyone knows of the original game of blackjack, which is sometimes referred to as 21, there are several different types of blackjack games. The types of blackjack games are all similar in nature in that they are based on the game of blackjack. However, they have enough different rules to constitute being referred to as their own special and unique game.
Most normal types of blackjack games are played with either six or eight decks in the casino, although the game of blackjack can be played with anywhere from one to eight decks (of 52 cards) in the blackjack shoe at one time. Spanish 21, which is a type of blackjack game that also uses six or eight decks, uses a 48-card deck instead of a 52-card deck. In the Spanish 21 type of blackjack game, the tens are removed from the deck, thus there are 48 cards in the deck instead of 52.
Super Fun 21 is a type of blackjack game that is often found in the casinos of Las Vegas and can also be played online. This type of blackjack game uses either 1, 2, or 6 decks that are standard in size. In types of blackjack games that follow the rules of Super Fun 21, players are allowed to enact the surrender clause after doubling down. This rule is similar to the Double Down Rescue rule that found in the Spanish 21 blackjack game.
As you can see from the few examples above, there are many different types of blackjack games that one can play and enjoy. Next time you become bored or run bad playing normal blackjack, give one of the different types of blackjack games a shot and see if it changes your luck!
