Super 21 is also widely recognized under the name “Super Fun 21” - another Blackjack variation. For a Player the main goal of Match Play 21 is to closely come to 21 without exceeding this point, but at the same time to beat the Dealer's hand by getting a higher total. Before the Player receives any cards, he must first place a wager. Having made an initial wager, the Player receives two cards face-up. The Dealer also receives 2 cards. If the total of the Player's hand occurs to be closer to 21 than the Dealer's one, then the Player wins the same amount he has wagered. If the Dealer exceeds 21 then the Player also wins and he has not busted. When exceeding 21 with the hand, the Player is losing his amount bet.
