Live dealer blackjack offers a more immersive and realistic experience than online blackjack. Playing at a live dealer table allows players to interact with a real dealer, who can answer questions and provide advice. This can help players to better understand the game and its rules.
Typically, variations of traditional games in casinos offer worse odds. This is not the case with Spanish 21. The house edge in Spanish 21 is roughly 0.40%. With respect to blackjack, the house edge can vary from approximately 0.20% to over 1.40%.
The removal of the four tens in each deck gives roughly a 2% advantage to the dealer. The liberal rules of Spanish 21, though, do compensate for this. With optimal play, the house edge of a Spanish 21 table is lower than that of a blackjack table with the same rules on hitting or standing on soft 17.
