Blackjack Terms ?" Part One
Introduction
Welcome to the first part of our Blackjack terms series, where we explore essential casino lingo from "Action" to "Color Up." This list includes interesting and useful terms that every Blackjack enthusiast should know. Feel free to browse through the terms, which are organized alphabetically.
Action
"Action" refers to a bet that is live and actively in play. This term is often used when cash is placed in the betting area.
Back Counting
A "back counter" is someone who observes and counts cards without sitting at the table. A common scenario involves two friends; one plays while the other stands nearby, counting cards.
Bankroll
A classic term in gambling, a "bankroll" is the total amount of money you have set aside for gambling. Effective bankroll management is crucial for long-term success. Your bankroll can be allocated for a single session, a month, or even an entire season.
Bar
Not to be confused with a place for drinks, getting "barred" means being permanently removed from a casino. This is also known as being "86ed."
Basic Strategy
This is the foundational approach to Blackjack, aimed at enjoying the game while maximizing the chances to win.

Burn Card
After shuffling and cutting the deck, the first card is discarded or "burned." This is a precautionary measure against cheating, still used in physical casinos today.
Bust
When your card total exceeds 21, you've "busted," resulting in a loss. Ideally, you want the dealer to bust rather than yourself.
Card Counting
This strategy involves predicting the types of cards remaining in the deck. Players using card counting bet higher when more high-value cards are left, and lower when there are mostly smaller cards. Explore more about card counting strategies on our site.
Cold Deck
Similar to a "cold table" in Craps, a "cold deck" means unfavorable cards for players, often filled with low-value cards. Card counters can identify a cold deck by its composition.
Color Up
When you're ready to leave, you can "color up." For instance, exchanging 20 red chips ($100) for one black chip streamlines your chip stack. Casinos encourage this to manage chip quantities at tables. For players, it's more convenient to carry fewer chips.
