This does of course give the dealer a big advantage, although Spanish Blackjack does bring some favour back to the player with several differing rules. This version of blackjack is played with either six or eight Spanish decks, that being a standard 52-card deck with four tens removed to make 48. This can lead to the game being classed as a better option than classic blackjack. Spanish Blackjack is considered by many to be one of the most profitable variations of the game, especially when it comes to the dealer standing on soft 17, or where players are able to redouble. If the rules say that the dealer must stand on Soft 17, Spanish 21 may become more profitable than regular Blackjack.
