Blackjack game editions
You probably have heard that there are many versions of the same popular card gambling game. This happens because every country adds its own specifics to the game, and it begins to differ compared to the standard version. A couple of card gambling games are pretty well known across the world, and they are played almost in each country. Those casino games are poker and blackjack. Today we talk about blackjack game versions or as people also call it “21”.
The blackjack game versions include a popular type, as Spanish 21. This blackjack version is pretty loyal to players, because allows them to double any cards number with the possibility of saving or giving up, making only one bet. Also in Spanish 21, the player can receive bonuses for five or more cards, consisting of special combinations. And besides, in this blackjack version players always have the chance to quit the game with fewer losses, and always win, even if the dealer also has 21 points. And all this with 10 cards lacking in the deck. Though this game also has its minuses. One of them is that in Spanish 21 the casino’s part is a little big higher than in regular blackjack.
There’s also another blackjack version called pontoon. Its rules differ compared to regular blackjack and give the player the chance to win in different situations. It’s known that a unique pontoon’s rule is that the dealer’s cards are open, and players can see them. The blackjack version as Double attack Blackjack also has pretty liberal rules, and also the possibility of increasing the bets after the dealer shown his cards.
Blackjack versions such as French “vingt-et-un” and German “Siebzehn und Vier” don’t allow to split. In other words, the ace in those games can only be 11, and two aces isn’t blackjack. Unfortunately, you rarely will see these blackjack versions in gambling establishments, but they are spread in home games. There’s also an Asian version of this game, in which dividing is forbidden and has its specific rules.
The blackjack versions are pretty different. Among them we can see a version as Blackjack Switch. The name speaks for itself; the player has the right to switch two cards, to collect the needed combination, having in hands two cards.
