SPANISH 21
Spanish 21 uses 8 spanish decks: Ace through 9, Jack, Queen, and King (no 10's).

GAME OBJECTIVE:
Similar to Blackjack, you are playing against the casino dealer and the idea of this game is to get as close to 21 as possible (or closer to it than the dealer), without going over.

PLAYER BLACKJACK:
Whenever the player gets a blackjack (two natural cards totalling 21) he is paid immediately, regardless if the dealer also has a blackjack. Blackjack is paid 3-2 (or 1 and 1/2 to 1).

PLAYER TOTAL OF 21:
If neither the player or dealer has a blackjack, play resumes and the player may elect to take more cards to improve his hand. This is called "hitting." Should the player's hand total 21, he is paid immediately regardless if the dealer also gets a 21. Depending on the number of cards that it took to achieve a 21, there are special Bonus payouts (see chart below):

5 Card 21 Pays 3-2

6 Card 21 Pays 2-1

7+ Card 21 Pays 3-1

6, 7, 8 Mixed Pays 3-2

6, 7, 8 Suited Pays 2-1

6, 7, 8 Spaded Pays 3-1

7, 7, 7 Mixed Pays 3-2

7, 7, 7 Suited Pays 2-1

7, 7, 7 Spaded Pays 3-1

PAIR SPLITTING:
A Player may split cards of equal value including Aces creating up to 4 hands - hitting and doubling of split hands including Aces - is allowed.

DOUBLE DOWN:
A Player may double down at any time (even after he/she has already taken a hit or has split). No bonus 21 payoffs apply on doubled hands.

DOUBLE DOWN RESCUE:
After doubling, if a player is dissatisfied with his non-busted hand, he/she may rescue (take back) the Doubled portion of the bet, and forfeit the original wager.

MATCH THE DEALER:
In addition to the regular 21 bet, a player can bet that either or both of his first two cards will numerically match the dealer's up card. The player makes a Match The Dealer wager by placing a bet in the Match The Dealer bet circle. In order to play Match The Dealer, the player must have a regular 21 bet. A Player may wager $1.00 up to the amount of the regular 21 bet. Match The Dealer Payoffs:

1 Non-Suited Match	Pays 3-1
2 Non-Suited Matches	Pays 6-1
1 Suited Match	Pays 12-1
1 Non-Suited & 1 Suited	Pays 15-1
2 Suited Matches	Pays 24-1

Match The Dealer will win 1 in every 6.4 hands on average.
