Super Fun 21 is a blackjack variant developed by the software provider Microgaming especially for online play. A number of rules of standard blackjack have been tweaked and new payouts added so as to generate more action and excitement. In Microgaming Super Fun 21 Blackjack, player blackjack pays only even money instead of the regular 3 to 2 payout. This should not be a turn off because there are sufficient benefits for the player to compensate for this.

To start with Microgaming Super Fun 21 Blackjack is played with one deck. In blackjack as the number of decks used decrease, the chance of the player winning increases and therefore single deck games are the best. The other rules in favor of the player are as follows. Player blackjack beats dealer blackjack. The player can surrender late and double down after any number of cards. The double down rescue option is also available in which players may surrender by losing only half the bet even after doubling down.

The rules for splitting are also made more attractive for the player in Microgaming Super Fun 21 Blackjack. Players can split three times to make four hands. The double down move is allowed after splitting. Aces can be re-split. Players can even double down and draw cards after splitting aces, which is usually not possible in online blackjack variants. Unlike ten value cards can also be split.

There are additional payout opportunities in Microgaming Super Fun 21 Blackjack. These bonuses will not be available if the player doubles down and therefore the double down move has to be exercised with caution. A player blackjack in diamonds pays out 2 to 1. A hand of six or more cards totaling to 20 or less always wins against any dealer hand. A hand of six or more cards totaling to 21 pays out 2 to 1 immediately.

The dealer’s moves are made automatically, but the player should be aware of the rules. Microgaming Super Fun 21 is a hole card game. The dealer will peek for blackjack on all ten value cards and aces. This rule actually works in the player’s favor because the player is prevented from increasing his wager by splitting or doubling down and then losing. The dealer hits on soft 17 and this rule works against the player.

With so many changes in the rules it is apparent that the optimum blackjack strategy will be different from the standard blackjack variant. So that players do not have to learn and memorize the strategy for Super Fun 21 Blackjack, Microgaming has incorporated the strategy card within the game. Players will have to wager in the Expert Mode. At the bottom right there is a Strategy tab. Clicking on it reveals the strategy card. Based on the dealer’s face up card and the player’s current hand value this card reveals the optimum move for the player. Microgaming is an innovative software provider and has gone one step further so that players need not toggle between the strategy card and the main screen in every move. Super Fun 21 can be set on auto play and the player’s moves will be automatically made as per the strategy card.

Super Fun 21 is available at all Microgaming online casinos like Spin Palace, All Slots and Platinum Play.
