Default Match Play 21?

Has anyone heard of the game "Match Play 21"? If so, what's the strategy for it? When I use basic strategy, I lose often when the dealer has a low card. There are no 10's in the deck (but there are face cards). There are also bonus wins, like if you get 3 consecutive cards of 6,7 and 8 (or something like that). I tried it at one of the online casinos for free (not real money) at "Windows Casino". So far I actually win some and not always the dealer winning. The dry spells don't seem to last as long as they do at the regular BJ tables.

Do they have this game at land based casinos? Is it a form of Spanish 21?

I tend to steer clear of these variations Cyclinggimpie. I have read that true Spanish 21, if played with correct strategy (and it isn't "Basic Strategy" as BJ players know the term), actually has a bit better odds for the player. It's still "negative expectation" but it is not quite as much in favor of the house as is straight BJ.

But, since I do not have that strategy comitted to memory, I've not played it. The other forms of BJ such as "Fun 21" are pretty heavily set up with house favorable rules so I definitely steer clear of them.
