What is a blackjack natural?
A blackjack natural is a hand consisting of an Ace and a 10-value card, which totals 21 and beats all other hands in blackjack.
A blackjack natural, also called a natural 21, is a hand consisting of an Ace and a 10-value card, which totals 21. This hand beats all other hands in blackjack, except for a blackjack hand consisting of a different Ace and a 10-value card, which would also total 21.
A blackjack natural is often referred to as a "perfect hand" because it cannot be improved upon. Any other hand, no matter what the combination, cannot beat a natural 21. For example, a hand consisting of an Ace and a 9-value card totals 20, which is lower than 21. A hand consisting of a 9-value card and a 2-value card totals 11, which is also lower than 21.
The odds of being dealt a blackjack natural are 4 in 13, or approximately 31%.
