Super Fun 21 is one of the fresh, new blackjack variants that are so popular in online casinos today. Plain old blackjack gambling is still an all-time favourite but the Net has spawned all kinds of variations on the blackjack theme and Super Fun 21 Blackjack is one of them.

The basic rules of Super Fun 21 are the same as traditional blackjack, but it's the curves and turns that make the game interesting. However, let's start with the basics. This online casino game is played with a regular, standard deck of card. After placing a bet, the player is dealt 2 cards face up; the dealer is dealt a hole card and an up card (one card face down and one card face up).

The dealer must hit on a soft 17. The player can split up to 4 times and he can double down after splitting. Aces can be split more than once and even non-identical 10-value cards can be split. The surrender rule is in effect (a player can stop playing and surrender half his bet if he feels he won't be winning the hand).

All of the above rules and conditions are what make playing Super Fun 21 so similar to regular online blackjack, but what, you may ask, makes it different? These are the special rules that make this online blackjack variation such a super fun way to play blackjack online:

• A Diamond Blackjack — that's a blackjack in the suit of diamonds — pays 2:1 instead of the standard 3:2.
• Any hand comprised of five cards or more that total 21 pays 2:1.
• Any player's hand of six cards or more totaling 20 or less automatically wins, even if the total point value is lower than the dealer's.
• A player's blackjack beats a dealer's blackjack. In regular blackjack, that would be a "push" or a tie.
• A player can double down with any number of cards in his hand. In regular blackjack, you can double down only with two cards.
• A player can hit or double down to split aces. Most online blackjack games don't allow hitting or doubling down after splitting aces.

As you can see, Super Fun 21 Blackjack truly does live up to its name. With its generous bonuses and player-friendly rules, it really is super fun to play Super Fun 21 Blackjack online.

To compensate for these nice, generous rules and bonuses, a Blackjack in a game of Super Fun 21 — other than a Diamond Blackjack with its special bonus payout — pays out "only" even money (and not the 3:2 that it usually does). That's just the way it is with online blackjack games: for every special blackjack rule that favours the player, there is an off-setting rule that disadvantages him.

Because the rules and conditions of Super Fun 21 are different than those of regular blackjack, there are variations in the basic blackjack strategy. It will help if before you play Super Fun 21 Blackjack you look for an online basic strategy chart that is applicable to this game. Practice first, stick to the blackjack basic strategy, and enjoy playing Super Fun 21 at All Jackpots Casino — those are the three Golden Rules of Super Fun 21.
