Super 21

We finish our review of the new games at the new US-Blackjack with a look at Super 21. Played in exactly the same way as normal blackjack, Super 21 has a number of interesting features and payout variations.

The most obvious difference is that Blackjack pays even money (as opposed to 3:2 on normal variations). In addition there is a “Surrender” button where you accept half your stake back and give up the hand. This latter feature puts a really interesting twist on the game. You can also play after a double, so if you (say) double 10 and get a 6 you might consider surrendering rather than risking all against the dealer’s 10.

There are some other quirky rules in the game. Higher payouts on multi card 21 hands and a “Diamond Blackjack” payout of 2:1 on your first two cards being 21 with both being diamonds. The full pay table is below:

Winner	Hand	Payouts
Player	Diamond Blackjack	2:1 (first hand only)
Player	Blackjack	Even Money (first hand only)
Dealer	Blackjack	None
Player	Five-card 21	2:1 (non-doubled hands only)
Player	Six-card 21	2:1 (non-doubled hands only)
Player	Six-card 20 or less (instant win)	Even Money (non-doubled hands only)
Player	Other Winning Hands	Even Money
Dealer/Player Tie	Other Hands	Push
