Hitting and Standing


The most common decision a player must make during a Blackjack game is whether to take an additional card (Hit), or stop at the current total (Stand).  There are a number of ways to let the dealer know that you wish to Hit or Stand.  The typical way to denote that you wish to Hit is to scrape the bottom edges of the two cards that you are holding towards you, and the dealer will deal you another card, face up, in front of you.   Another option is to point your index finger at your cards.  This will also indicate to the dealer that you would like another card.  Some casinos will permit you to say "Hit Me", but this is usually discouraged since spoken words can not be recorded by the security cameras.  If you do not want any more cards and wish to Stand, it is common practice to slide the two cards you are holding partially under your bet, face down.  Other options include waving your hand, palm down, across your cards from left to right or right to left, or by saying "Stay" aloud.  Again, the spoken command is generally not looked upon in a favorable light since security cameras are not able to pick up sound.
