Spanish Blackjack

This version is played with 8 unique decks.  Each deck consists 48 cards made up of the standard 52 cards, less the four 10 cards.  Each deck is shuffled before every game.  In Spanish BlackJack you can only bet one hand at a time.  The player is dealt 2 cards face-up.  The dealer is dealt 2 cards as well � one face-up and the other face-down.  If the dealer�s first card is an Ace or 10-value card, he will �Peek� the face down card � meaning the dealer will check to see if the face-down card

completes a BlackJack.  If it is a BlackJack, the player will not complete his hand unless he has a chance of drawing a BlackJack.  If both parties draw a BlackJack, the player wins.  The same rule applies when both parties draw a 21.
