Game process and blackjack hand signals

The croupier will give you two cards face up, one face up and one face up. The goal of the game, as we said before, is to score more points than the croupier, but not more than twenty-one! In blackjack hand signals are played separately, that is, the match takes place between the croupier and one player. When dealt with, the following situations may arise – soft and hard hand, successful and unsuccessful:

• Soft Hand – the player has an ace in the deck, which can be worth either one or 11 points. [Hand signal: wave your hand over, or simply extend your open palm over the cloth.]

• Hard Hand – a set without aces or a hard ace that is equal to only one.

[Hand signal: Touch the cloth with your finger.]

• A successful hand or Pat Hand is a situation when the cards are worth 17 to 21 points in total.

[Hand signal: Simply place a bet identical to your opening bet, to the left of your opening bet, and the dealer will deal you one extra card, turned sideways to indicate that you can’t take any more extra cards.]

• Unsuccessful hand or Stiff Hand – this is the name of a set of cards with a sum of 12 to 16 points.

[Hand signal: Place a second bet equal to your first bet and give the peace signal with two fingers, the classic “peace sign”, to clearly signal that you want to “Split” and not just double. The dealer will split your hand into two new hands and deal a card to each new hand.]

The truly international language of Blackjack is a specific sign language. At any table, not only words will be expected from you, but also actions in the literal sense of the word. The players and the dealer will be watching your hand movements.

The Enough or Stand gesture means the player’s refusal of an additional card. If you are satisfied with your hand, place your cards so that their corner is under the betting chips. Do not touch your cards until the end of the hand.

Also –blackjack dealer has to hit – we use it if we need one more card. Let the croupier know that you, so to speak, are missing – move the pads of your fingers along the dress next to you or behind the bet, as if you are scratching the table towards you. Keep the cards in your free hand.

In most casinos, a blackjack dealer has to hit a card if he hits 16 or below and stands at 17 or above. Some tables, though, say the dealer must hit soft 17, meaning he has a chance to increase his score up to.

Gesture Double or Double Down or Doubling – Double Down. Determines the player’s desire to double the starting bet. We put a smaller or equal “amount” next to the original bet. We lay out our cards face up. The hand is made into a fist, the index finger is straight out (you show them that one card is needed). You can look at the croupier card issued to you, or you can wait for the final hand. Etiquette dictates that the extra card you receive and review should remain shirt-up.

Gesture Split or Split – division. We put an “amount” equal to it next to the initial bet and open our cards face up. We show the croupier two raised fingers: index and middle, as a symbol of victory, he will deal the cards.
