Description & Objectives

Match Play 21 is a variant of Blackjack. The objective is for a player to come as close to 21 without going over, while still having a higher number than the dealer.

Prior to receiving any cards, the player must place a wager. Once the wager is made, the player is dealt two cards face up.

The dealer is also dealt two cards. If the total value of the player’s cards is closer to 21 than the dealer, the player wins as much as he wagered. The player wins if the dealer goes over 21.
