Famous Spanish 21 Players - Names of Blackjack Stars

Heroes should be recognized by faces!

Spanish 21 is a very young blackjack variant in comparison to its predecessor. It appeared in 1995 in Nevada, the USA, and its “father” was a middle-class casino employee who wanted to create some new variant of traditional Twenty-One which could be interesting and easy to play. For such a game he used a card deck of 48 cards (a such-called Spanish deck where all 10’s were absent); thus, the new variant of Twenty-One (blackjack) became to be Spanish 21.

In spite of its young age, Spanish 21 already has a right to boast with its famous card gamblers whose deeds had made this game to be popular and loved by many people. Real fans of Spanish 21 should definitely know the names of these people as they made everything for this blackjack variant to become the game it is today.
