Match play 21 is simply another variation to blackjack and is very easy to pick up on. Even if you have never played blackjack before you will find match play 21 easy to learn and very fun. Like I said earlier, the rules of match play 21 are very similar to blackjack. Before the dealing the player makes a wager and is then dealt two cards face up by the dealer. If the players hand is closer to 21 than the dealer's hand without going over then the player wins. I told you it was simple.

Here are a few other things to keep in mind while playing match play 21. You play match play 21 with 8 decks; all of the tens have been removed. Face cards are all worth 10 points and aces are worth either 11 points or 1 point, whichever helps your hand the most. Players may surrender half of their wager after doubling down. A player may also double down on any number of cards.

Match play 21 offers a better payoff than regular blackjack. If you have a five-card 21 you payoff will be 3:2, six-card 21 will be 2:1, seven or more-card will be 3:1. All spades in a 6-7-8 or a 7-7-7 gives a payoff of 3:1 while mixed suits pay 3:2 and if they are of the same suit they pay 2:1.

Match play 21 is quick to pick up on and can give you a higher pay off than regular blackjack. I you are tired of regular blackjack then you should give match play 21 a shot.
