Spanish Blackjack is a popular casino game that is played with a standard 52-card deck. The object of the game is to score as many points as possible by making either the “blackjack” (21) or “high card” (10) count, while avoiding losing points by getting pegged with a 10, a 2, or a 3.
To play Spanish Blackjack, you first need to decide how much money you want to bet. You can either bet on the “come-out” (or “hole”) card (which represents your initial wager), or place your entire bet on the “draw” card (which represents your total available funds at the start of the hand).
Once you have made your decision, you are ready to commence playing Spanish Blackjack. The first thing you will need to do is place your bet and then draw three cards. You will then choose whether to hit or stand.
If you hit, you will cash in your original bet and add the value of the hit card to your total score. If you stand, you will keep your original bet and add nothing to your total score.
After hitting or standing, you will next draw two additional cards. If these cards are both lower than the number on the original draw card, then you will go all in and play for double (or “hard”) – otherwise, you will continue playing as normal.
After drawing your second and third cards, it is time to make your decisions. You can either hit again (if you have two lower cards), stand again (if you have one lower card and one higher card), or fold (if both of your new cards are equal to or greater than the number on the original draw card).
Once you make these decisions, it is time to reveal all of your new cards and compare them against the totals on each player’s hands. If both players have an identical total on their hands, then no new cards are drawn and the hand is over – congrats! If one player has a higher total than the other player, then that player gets to discard one of their cards – this is called “going bust”.
If both players have different totals after revealing their new cards, then one of those players gets to draw another card – this is called ” Drawing Another Card “. This process will continue until one player either busts or has no more new cards left in their hand.
After all players have finished drawing additional cards, any remaining bets are resolved and final scores are calculated.
The goal of Spanish Blackjack is not only to make sure that you never lose money – but also to make sure that you never get stuck with a bad hand! By playing carefully and keeping track of both your current and future hand totals, it should not be too difficult for even beginner players to get winning results at Spanish Blackjack tables!.
