Super Fun 21 Online Blackjack

Published on: January 11, 2013 

Super Fun 21 is a blackjack variant developed by the leading software provider Cryptologic and available at online casinos like InterCasino. It is meant for players who like variety in the rules and payouts, which are not on offer in the standard online blackjack variants. The article describes the game play of Super Fun 21.

The first advantage of Super Fun 21 is that it is played with a single deck of cards. In online blackjack, the fewer the number of decks used, the higher is the average return to the player. The important player’s rules, which are different from the standard blackjack variants, are as follows. The player may double after a split. The player may split pairs up to three hands. The player may hit and double down on split aces. The player may double on any number of cards. The player may surrender on any number of cards. The player may surrender half the wagered amount after doubling. The dealer hits on a soft 17.

The payouts in Cryptologic Super Fun 21 are considerably different from the standard online blackjack variant as well. Player blackjacks in all suits except diamonds pay only 1 to 1 instead of 3 to 2. Blackjack in diamonds pays 2 to 1 to compensate and the player always wins with a blackjack. Player hand with a value of 20 or less and consisting of six cards pays 1 to 1, except after doubling. Player hand with a value of 21 and consisting of 5 cards or more pays 2 to 1, except after doubling. Players can take insurance as in the standard online blackjack games.

Cryptologic Super Fun 21 offers a bonus side bet. It is an optional bet and players can avoid it. But if they decide to go ahead then the bet has to be placed upfront. It has a fixed value of 1 credit. The bonus side bet pays out when the player’s first two dealt cards consist of blackjack in diamonds, except when the hands are split. The bonus side bet pays out at 300 to 1.

To start the game the player has to wager the ante bet and the bonus bet if desired. The minimum limit for the ante bet is 5 credits. Players need to be careful because smaller bets are automatically adjusted to 5 credits. The player clicks the Deal button and the cards are dealt on the table. Two cards are dealt face up to the player. One card is dealt face up and one card is dealt face down to the dealer. Thereafter the hand is played as usual. The options that are available to the player at any time in the game are displayed on the screen. This feature in Cryptologic Super Fun 21 is very useful because some of the moves are different from the standard online blackjack variant. Super Fun 21 has a Turbo feature. When this is activated by clicking the Turbo button, the speed of dealing the cards increases considerably. This feature is useful for expert players. Players can set their table bet limit below the maximum specified limit using the Bet Options from the Game Menu. Players should activate this feature, enter the lower limit in the box displayed and click on the OK button.
