Super Fun 21 Blackjack

Looking for an interesting blackjack variation? Today, with blackjack itself being such a widely played game, and with the ease of play online, there are hundreds of fascinating variations of blackjack for the aficionado. One of these variations that you could consider is called Super Fun 21 Blackjack. Super Fun 21 Blackjack is becoming increasingly popular and you’ll find that many casinos in Las Vegas are offering this game. You will find it online at several sites, too.

In a similar fashion to games like Triple 7s and Matchplay 21, the online Super 21 Blackjack game gives players bonuses on certain winning combinations - Super Fun 21 Blackjack super-sizes the fun! While Super 21 Blackjack is played with a single pack of cards, Super Fun 21 Blackjack is played with an amazing two, six or eight packs. So a player’s chances of making the necessary winning combinations, and winning large sums at the game, are considerably increased.

Based on the traditional blackjack game, Super 21 Fun Blackjack has similar rules. The differences in rules, however, are marked enough for Nevada not to consider it as a blackjack.

What are the differences between regular blackjack and Super 21 Fun Blackjack? First of course, is the difference in the number of cards used in the game. Secondly, the dealer in Super 21 Fun Blackjack usually plays a soft 17. A player is allowed to split his or her pairs (even Ace pairs) up to four times.

There is an option to surrender even after splitting, doubling down or hitting. A natural blackjack with a player will always win, even if the dealer has a blackjack. Unless the player has doubled, a player’s hand that adds up to twenty or less with six or hands is a winning combination. A player whose cards (five or more) add up to twenty one before doubling returns two to one. The other points particular to blackjack are that players may hit and double down to split aces.

The most significant difference in Super 21 Fun Blackjack is that although natural blackjacks give back three to two in other games, here natural blackjacks give players even money, except for a diamond blackjack, which pays two to one. So, while the house edge for regular single pack blackjack is 1.16%, in Super 21 Fun Blackjack, the house edge could be 1.3 or more. This adds up to almost as much as the hardcore blackjack games where players are paid $5 to $6 for natural blackjacks.

If you’re keen on playing this game, and think you might get quite serious about it, it’s worth studying some strategies that will help you win at Super 21 Fun Blackjack. For instance, you could use a double down surrender strategy. This means that you should surrender after doubling down, when you have 10 to 16 and the dealer has 8 to Ace, or when you have 17 and the dealer has an Ace.

Super 21 Fun Blackjack bonuses are also interesting. There are bonus payouts for bonus hand combinations – you have to beat the dealer either by getting a higher value hand less than twenty one, or when the dealer goes bust.

Now, many serious blackjack players will not enjoy Super 21 Fun Blackjack, but it is interesting, and certainly fun! One nice thing about the game is that the payouts here are larger than most other blackjack variations. And it can be profitable, too. It is easily possible to win large amounts of cash here at Super 21 Fun Blackjack, but it also true that your chances of getting a really good hand are quite low.
