Power Blackjack is part of the Wagerworks Online blackjack package; it's a basic European multi-deck game with advantageous doubling and splitting rules, which are slightly offset by the fact that if the dealer makes twenty two any active player hands push rather than winning. In this regard the online casino game has similarites with the Playtech Blackjack Switch game, where the dealer push on twenty two compensates for the player-advantageous "switch" option.

Super Fun 21 is a variation of blackjack that can be seen at online casinos. The game is played using a standard 52 card deck. Aces can be counted as either a one or eleven depending on which value would best benefit the player's hand. In this free online casino game, all the face cards in the deck will be counted as ten. The remaining cards are taken at face value. The player must first place a bet and is then dealt two cards face up. The dealer is dealt two cards as well, but one is face up and one face down. The player then has the option to either "hit", (request another card) or "stand" (decline additional cards). The player's hand must beat the dealer's by coming closer to 21 without "busting" (exceeding 21). A winning hand with a total of 21 is called a blackjack.

Spanish 21" is similar to blackjack in may ways. Spanish 21 got its name from the deck used in the game. In new online casinos, it is played with a 48 card or "Spanish" deck. The deck has face cards that count as 10, but no numerical 10s. That is one of the best bets in a online casino. In locations where the dealer stands on a soft 17 or redoubling is allowed, Spanish 21 is probably a better bet than blackjack, depending on the specific blackjack rules. If you are looking for a change of pace from traditional blackjack but insist on a game with a low house edge you may find new excitement in Spanish 21.
In Australia and Malaysia, Spanish 21 is called Pontoon. There are some rule changes in Australia, which merit a separate page.

Lots of free online casino games are starting to make their own space on the top casinos online.
Pontoon is an unlicensed variant of the American game Spanish 21 that is played in Australian and Malaysian casinos. In Treasury Casino, Brisbane, it is known as Treasury 21, in Jupiters Casino, Gold Coast, it is known as Jupiters 21, in The Reef Casino, Cairns, it is known as Paradise Pontoon, and in Tasmania, it is known as Federal Pontoon.
It should not be confused with the black jack variant called Pontoon, found in the UK and former British colonies such as Nepal, and played with regular 52-card decks. Pontoon has proven to be far more popular in Australia than Spanish 21 has been in the United States.

Extreme 21 is a free online gambling blackjack variant form of regular blackjack that is primarily played for fun because the odds of winning any significant money are very low. The house edge happens to be three times that of regular blackjack. A player who is more interested in trying to make money would be better served by trying a different game.
However, for the recreational player looking for something different in casino web sites?, this can be an exciting game. Extreme 21 Blackjack is played just like a normal game of blackjack except for one crucial difference and that is that the dealer cannot stand on a hand value. In Extreme 21, the dealer will keep hitting until they get a higher number than the player or until they go bust.

Double Exposure is a unique online black jack game in which both of the dealer's cards are dealt face up. The "double exposure" gives you twice as much information with which to make your blackjack strategy decisions. By seeing both of the blackjack cards in the dealer's hand, you will be able to make a more informed decision as to whether to stand, hit, double down, split, or surrender.

Caribbean 21 is a variation of Black jack that is currently only available at new online casinos. The main difference is that an ace and two 10-point cards is called a "Caribbean 21" and is ranked higher than all other 21 point hands, including after splitting. Other variations are Ties, Insurance and Late Insurance. The game offers the player the ability to split any two initial cards and to hit and redouble after doubling. Of course nothing is ever free and the player loses all ties.

As one of many different blackjack strategies, Blackjack Switch is a variant of blackjack in which player receives two hands of cards and may choose the best one to play with. So, if a player’s first hand was a 6 and a 10 and the next hand was a 5 and a 10 the player can choose to create a hand of 10 and 10. The payout is more modest at 1:1 when blackjack occurs naturally.
Switch decisions
Generally, it is quite obvious when the player decides to trade cards or not. When it is not obvious the best rule to follow is to choose an option that will allow you to form the best possible single hand.

Blackjack (also known as Twenty-one, Vingt-et-un (French for Twenty-one), or Pontoon) is the most widely played casino banking game in the world. Much of blackjack's popularity is due to the mix of chance with elements of skill, and the publicity that surrounds card counting (calculating the probability of advantages based on the ratio of high cards to low cards). The online casinos version of the game should not be confused with the British card game Black Jack (a variant of Crazy Eights).
