Controling Cards When Dealing Blackjack

Video Transcript

Hi. My name is Melissa Powell and I'm with Expert Village. Now we're going to talk about as a Dealer, the control of the cards. It's very important that you have absolute control of the cards physically if you want all the Players to take you seriously. It's important that you have your cards in your left hand if you're a right handed Dealer. Now if you're left handed, it would be the other way. So, we'll have our cards in our left hand since I'm right handed. You want to push the cards a little bit with your thumb. Also, when you start dealing, when you push it with your thumb you also want to have control of your wrist so that you snap it exactly where you want it to land, so that all the cards will land precisely where you want them to. And when you spin the card, they land more specifically where they should. And it's important that you practice this so that you don't overshoot the cards or undershoot. If you overshoot the card, it'll go off the table. So it's important that you deal short, but clean. Control of the cards is really important so that you don't overshoot and they fall off the table, or undershoot and no one knows whose card that's supposed to be. You want to make sure it lands very clearly to each player so they know whose card is who. Remember, if you overshoot it, it's going to go right off the table. Or if it flips, people are going to see the card and that's a misdeal. So you want to be very careful about control of the cards. Don't flip it, don't over, just really close on the table and snap your wrist a little bit so that you deal it precisely where it should go. You want to make sure it lands directly in front of the player at all times. So just keep practicing twisting your wrist exactly the right level so the cards land where you want them to all the time.
