Multiple Action Blackjack involves a holdem player placing between 2 or 3 bets on a single hand. The dealer then gets a hand for each bet the holdem player places on a hand. This essentially doubles the number of hands a single dealer can play per hour. Splitting and doubling are still allowed, but often limited due to limited space on the felt for additional chips. Strategy for this game is the same as strategy for conventional blackjack regardless of how many places are bet.
Super Fun 21 allows a holdem player to split a hand up to four times. If the player has six cards totaling 20, he automatically wins. Wins are paid 1:1. Examples of the many local traditional and recreational blackjack-like games include French/German Blackjack, called Vingt-et-un (French: Twenty-one) or "Siebzehn und Vier" (German: Seventeen and Four). The French/German game does not allow splitting. An ace can only count as eleven, but two aces count as a blackjack. It is mostly played in private circles and barracks. A British variation is called "Pontoon", the name being probably a corruption of "Vingt-et-un".
