Here are some of the variants of blackjack with significant rule and strategy differences.

Chinese Blackjack Games
Many players in Asia usually play Chinese blackjack. The main difference from among other variants is that there is no such thing as splitting of cards. However, the game has some other card combination regulations.

Spanish Blackjack Game
This is commonly known as the Spanish 21, which offers many blackjack rules. You can double down any number of cards with the option to surrender one wager to the house, or you can payout bonuses for five or more card like 21s, 6-7-8 21s, and 7-7-7 21s. The game also allows late surrender.

English Blackjack Game
This is often called the Pontoon, which has also some different important rules and different strategies from other blackjack variants.

German and French Blackjack Games
This is also known as the “Vingt-et-un”. The rule does not include splitting. Two Aces always count as a blackjack and an Ace can only count as eleven.

Blackjack Switch
It is another variant of blackjack where a player who deals on two hands can switch cards. A 10-6 and 5-10 can be switched to make hands of 10-10 and 6-5.
