Spanish Blackjack Rule

Spanish Blackjack is played with eight unique decks.
Each deck consists of 48 playing cards made up of the standard 52 cards, less the four 10 cards.

Each deck is shuffled before every game.

You can only bet on one hand per game

Dealer Hits on a soft 17

  • If both the Dealer and your hand have Blackjack , your hand wins
  • If both the Dealer and your hand have 21 , your hand wins
  • Bonus 21 payouts do not apply after Doubling Down

You can Split a maximum number of 3 times per game, equaling 4 hands

  • If you split a pair of Aces and then draw a card with a denomination of 10, this is not Blackjack , although it has a value of 21

    This rule also applies to splitting pairs of cards with a value of 10.
    You can re-split Aces in Spanish Blackjack

You can Double Down after split
You cannot Hit after doubling down
You can double a maximum of twice
The second Double doubles the entire bet amount, including the first double amount
If you have a Bonus 21 hand combination as a result of doubling, you do not qualify for the Bonus payout
You can take Insurance.

  • You can Surrender half of your total bet after Doubling Down. This is known as a Double Down Rescue .
  • You can Late Surrender. This is when the Dealer checks for Blackjack first, and then you Surrender.
  • If you use the Late Surrender option, you give up half your original bet amount for the privilege of not playing out a hand.
