I do, I do.  I - at the expense of my husband's disdain for the game - LOVE Spanish 21 and play it at a local card room often.  There are no 10's in the deck, that is the main difference.  So you have Jack-King, but no actual number 10.  You can double down at any time on anything.  Blackjack is paid immediately, no waiting for the hand to finish.  Even if you split Aces, if you get a blackjack on the splits, it's paid right then.  Because of having no 10's you hit more often.  The goal of us players is not usually the actual hand, it's to match the dealer.  You play the bonus side, and if your card matches the dealer's UP card, you win.  If you get a 5, and the dealer shows a 5 offsuit, it pays 4 to 1.  If you have a Suited match, both 5 of clubs, it pays 9 to 1.  It's quite funny to have a king and hope the dealer is showing a king also lol.  If you get 2 suited 7's, and the dealer is showing a 7, you get paid the bonus of course, but if you pull another suited 7, it pays 1000 to 1.  Some places say 'any bet over $50 is paid $5000 and under $50 is 1000' but I have seen this vary from casino to casino.  It is so much fun... you can win a huge amount, and lose a huge amount.  Once I started with $100 at a table, and walked away with over $2000 because I kept getting suited matches.  There is some controversy over the game, but I think it is fun.

Thanks tood for that informative description on how to play!! That is wayyy dif with the tens missing. Seems to me it would be harder.
