Blackjack Terms - Part Five
Welcome to the final installment of our Blackjack terms series. We've had quite the journey, and upon finishing this guide, you can proudly call yourself a Blackjack terms expert. Let's dive in!
Key Terms Explained
1. Session
A session refers to a period of time spent gambling, particularly useful in discussions about money management.
2. Shill
A shill is a casino employee who plays at tables, often empty ones, to attract more players. This is more common at Craps tables, where people might feel reluctant to play alone.
3. Soft Hand
A soft hand includes an Ace valued as 11, providing flexibility in gameplay.
4. Stand
When you're satisfied with your hand, you can stand to end your turn.
5. Surrender
Some casinos offer the option to surrender. This allows you to fold your hand and recover half of your wager. Players often surrender when holding a hard 16 while the dealer shows a face card.
6. Third Base
This is the last seat to receive cards, immediately to the dealer's right if the table is full.
7. Toke
Also known as a tip. Dealers appreciate tips, which can be given by placing a bet for the dealer above your own wager. Be sure to inform the dealer so they can arrange it properly. It's a great way to gain the dealer’s support.
8. True Count
In card counting, the true count is calculated by dividing the running count by the number of decks in use, providing a more accurate insight.
9. Up Card
The dealer’s visible card is called the up card, while the hidden one is the hole card.
10. Unit
A unit is a standard measure of betting, such as $5, $10, or $1, depending on the stakes you’re playing.
11. Vig
Short for vigorish, it's the house's commission. In sports betting, for example, it's often 10%.
12. Whale
Whales are high rollers, the big-time players who casinos are eager to welcome, as they usually bring the potential for substantial profits.
