Infinite Fun Fun 21 Blackjack, developed by Evolution Gaming, is a unique twist on the classic game of Blackjack that pits you against the dealer in an engaging live casino setting. The objective remains familiar—get a hand value closer to 21 without exceeding it—but the game spices things up with innovative bonus payouts such as Bonus 21 and Super Bonus 21, which reward special card combinations when achieving a non-Blackjack 21. Notably, the game is played using eight modified decks (omitting 10s) and offers flexible gameplay options like Double Down at any time, splitting equal-value cards (with specific restrictions), and even a distinctive Cash Out feature that lets you secure a payout based on your current hand value versus the dealer’s. With a dealer who stands on hard 17 but hits on soft 17 and various nuanced rules around insurance and tie wins (where a tied 21 in non-Blackjack circumstances still results in a win), Infinite Fun Fun 21 Blackjack brings fresh layers of strategy and excitement to the traditional card game.
The game is hosted by a dealer and allows an unlimited number of players to play in each game round.
The game is played with eight standard 52-card decks, without the 10s. Card values in Blackjack are as follows:
After the allotted betting time has expired, the dealer deals one card face up to all players, ending with the dealer. The dealer then deals a second card face up to all players but the dealer's second card is dealt face down. The value of your initial hand is displayed next to your cards.
If the value of your initial two-card hand is exactly 21, you have Blackjack!
If the dealer’s upcard is an Ace, you can purchase insurance to offset the risk that the dealer has Blackjack — even when you have Blackjack yourself. The amount of insurance is equal to one half of your main bet, and the insurance bet is settled separately from the bet on your hand. The dealer then peeks at the value of their downcard to check for Blackjack. If the dealer does not have Blackjack, the round continues. If the dealer has Blackjack, but you do not, the game ends and the dealer’s hand wins.
If you and the dealer both have Blackjack, you win.
If the dealer’s upcard is a face card, the dealer looks at the value of their downcard to check for Blackjack. If the dealer does not have Blackjack, the round continues. If the dealer has Blackjack, but you do not, the game ends and the dealer’s hand wins. If you and the dealer both have Blackjack, you win.
After the cards are dealt and if the dealer does not have Blackjack, you have a decision to make. One of the decisions presented to you is to cash out: if you decide to cash out, the game for that hand will end, and you will receive back the value shown to you in the Cash Out decision button. The Cash Out payout ratio changes based on your total score for the hand and the dealer face-up card. The Cash out rule applies only to your main bet. You can control the visibility of this option in your decision panel in Settings.
The Cash Out payout ratio will range between 0.41% to 4.43% of your main bet – depending on the total of the players hand vs. the total of the dealer’s hand - at the time of the Cash Out.
If the dealer does not have Blackjack upon checking their two initial cards, players are given a chance to improve the values of their hands in turn, by the dealer offering to deal further cards to players' hands. If the value of your initial hand is not 21, you can decide to Hit to be dealt an additional card to add to the value of your hand. You can Hit more than once to receive additional cards before you decide to Stand once you are satisfied with the value of your hand. However, you cannot Hit if your hard total is 17 or above unless you have the possibility to achieve a Bonus 21.
At any point, you can decide to Double. In this case, you will double your bet and be dealt only one additional card to add to your hand.
Please note that the player will not be offered a decision option when their soft hand score equals 21.
If your initial hand is a pair of cards of equal value, you can decide to Split the pair to make two separate hands, each with a separate bet equal to your main bet. After a second card is dealt to both your hands, you can improve the value of these two hands by deciding to Hit or Double. Again, you can choose to Stand once you are satisfied with the value of your two hands. However, if you Split an initial pair of Aces, you will receive only one additional card per hand with no option to Hit or Double.
If the sum of your hand exceeds 21, you bust and lose your bet on that hand.
When all players have taken turns, the dealer reveals the value of their downcard. The dealer must Stand on hard 17 and Hit on soft 17. Remember that a “soft hand” includes an Ace worth 11.
You win when the value of your final hand is closer to 21 than the dealer’s hand or when the dealer busts. If the value of your hand is the same as the dealer’s, the game round ends in a push, and your bet is returned (the exception is a tie with a score of 21, in which case you win). When you reach the total hand score of 21, outside of initial hands (Blackjack), you are eligible for a Bonus 21 or Super Bonus 21 payout depending on the combination of cards.
Blackjack is only possible using the two cards in the initial two-card deal. A hand of 21 resulting from a split pair is not considered a Blackjack. Therefore, Blackjack beats any hand of 21 resulting from a split pair.
Min Bet: $1
Max Bet: $500
Optimal Return to Player: 99.37% (based on first card dealt from the shoe)
When you reach the total hand score of 21, but it is not Blackjack (using more than your two initial cards), you are eligible for a Bonus 21 payout depending on the combination of cards. There are multiple combinations for Bonus 21:
Note that Bonus 21 payouts apply even if the hand resulted from a Split. However, the decision to Double Down negates these bonuses.
When you get a non-Blackjack 21 with a card combination of 7-7-7, and the dealer's upcard is also a 7, you are eligible for the Super Bonus 21.
Note that the decision to Split or Double Down negates the bonus of Super Bonus 21.
Your payout depends on the type of bet placed.

| Bonus 21 | 6-7-8 Spades | 4:1 |
| 6-7-8 same suits | 3:1 | |

| 7-7-7 Spades | 5:1 | |

| Five-card-hand 21 | 2:1 | |
| Super Bonus 21 | Player with 7-7-7, dealer with a 7 | 50:1 |
Despite its inventive features and the appeal of bonus combinations, Infinite Fun Fun 21 Blackjack may not be the ideal choice for every player. The game’s unique rule adjustments—such as its modified deck composition and unconventional payout mechanics—can potentially complicate strategy and lead to less predictable outcomes compared to standard Blackjack. Therefore, if you value consistency and simplicity in your casino experience, this particular variant might be better avoided.
So it's not-so-fun. If you see "Fun", "Easy" or "Free" being in the description of the game at a casino... it's not a good play. Steer clear of these gimmicky games. Don't be a rube.
