Does the Wizard have one? I've seen his optimal.

As far as I know Wizard does not have a simple strategy for Spanish 21. But you could make one yourself easily. For example, for a Stand-on-any-17 game, just remember to always hit 12 and 13, hit 14 against a deuce or three, follow the normal doubling rules for 11 and 10, and learn the split rules. You use regular blackjack rules for soft doubles on 17 and 18. Always split aces and eights. That's the same as regular BJ too.
You can ignore the bonus hands if you want since they come up so rarely and only give you a slight edge. I play S21 quite a bit and use them but they are not that necessary.
