Hitting
Posted on January 14, 2008 in the blackjack category
“Hitting” in blackjack means asking for or “drawing” another card. A player hits when hoping to improve his hand. In single- and double-deck games, where the first two cards are dealt face down, the player re-quests another card by way of a quick, short scratch of the table with the two cards he is holding. In multiple-deck games, or when all cards are dealt face up, the player requests another by simply tapping the table with a finger.
A hand signal or some type of movement indicating intent is required. Simply asking for or declining another card verbally is almost universally unacceptable.
