Spanish Blackjack Strategy Table

Spanish Blackjack has many rule differences from traditional blackjack. A summary of Microgaming rules is below:

Unique Rules – Played with 48-card decks with 10s (10s, not face cards) removed, Player BJ beats dealer BJ, Player 21 beats dealer 21, Double on any number of cards, Re-double down once, Surrender after doubling down

Bonuses – 5-card 21 pays 3:2, 6-card 21 pays 2:1, 7+-card 21 pays 3:1, Unsuited 6/7/8 or 7/7/7 pays 3:2, Suited 6/7/8 or 7/7/7 pays 2:1, Spades 6/7/8 or 7/7/7 pays 3:1, Suited 7/7/7 against dealer 7 pays 50:1.

Common Blackjack Rules – 8 decks, Dealer hits soft 17, Dealer peeks for blackjack, Double after split, Resplit to 4 hands, Resplit aces, Draw to split aces, Surrender allowed

The bonuses for 5+ card hands results in a complex strategy that is dependent on the number of cards in your hand. In the strategy tables below, D# indicates double if your hand has # or fewer cards, otherwise hit. S# indicates stand if your hand has # or fewer cards, otherwise hit. The first table applies to typical situations, when the player has not yet doubled. The second table applies to after the player has doubled, when the only possible strategy options are stand, redouble, or surrender (no hit).

There is not a universal consensus for Spanish 21 strategy with these rules. The following hands are close calls where strategy recommendations may differ: 5/6 vs dealer 6 (double vs hit), 13 vs dealer 6 (hit vs stand), A2/3 vs dealer 3 (double vs hit).The strategy tables below are primarily based on Wizard of Odds’ analysis of the game. I have not manually verified all of the unique strategy decisions.
