Types of Spanish 21 Payouts
Spanish 21 offers several types of payouts to make the game interesting – and lucrative, if you win. These can be broadly classified into three categories:
Standard Payouts
Standard Spanish 21 payouts cover the usual hands such as blackjack, 5-card 21, 6-card 21, and 7+ card 21. These payouts are the foundation of the game and offer consistent rewards for achieving 21 with varying numbers of cards.
Bonus Payouts
Bonus Spanish 21 payouts are awarded for specific combinations like 6-7-8 or 7-7-7, with higher payouts for the same suit and all combinations of spades.
Special Payouts
Special Spanish 21 payouts include insurance and super bonus hands. Insurance is offered when the dealer’s upcard is an Ace. The super bonus is a rare but lucrative payout for achieving 7-7-7 in the same suit while the dealer shows a 7.
Spanish 21 Odds
Understanding the odds in Spanish 21 is critical to making informed betting decisions. The odds for some common scenarios you might encounter include:
Odds of Getting a Blackjack
The odds of being dealt a natural blackjack (Ace and a 10-value card) in Spanish 21 are approximately 4.75 percent.
Odds of Winning Specific Hands
Winning hands such as a 5-card 21, 6-card 21, or a 7+ card 21 have progressively lower odds due to the increasing difficulty of achieving these combinations.
Odds of Bonus Hands
Bonus hands like 6-7-8 or 7-7-7 have even lower odds, especially when going for hands of the same suit or all spades combinations. But with lower odds, the payouts are even higher.
Odds of Special Hands
Special hands, such as the super bonus, have very low odds, but the potential payouts can be substantial, making them attractive for many players.
Insurance Odds
The odds of the dealer having a blackjack when showing an Ace are about 9.4 percent, making insurance a strategic bet in certain situations. Insurance may help you minimize your losses, but it won’t always make you a winner.
Spanish 21 House Edge
The house edge in Spanish 21 can vary depending on the specific rules and payout structures of the casino. Generally, the house edge is lower than traditional blackjack, making Spanish 21 an attractive game for players seeking better odds.
