The look

You can buy as many chips as you want. Traditionally players bye chips for 20-30 standard bets for the table. You certainly need to know who the blackjack table looks like to win in blackjack.

Betting sections

Each player has his/hers own bets sections on the blackjack table. Usually they are square or circular. Players can put a bet, but after the game starts - they are not allowed to touch their bets. Players can take them only after the game is over, and, of course, if they have won the game. Also, each player can bet and play in more than only one betting section, but it is not allowed to play on more than one blackjack table at the same time.

Card decks and machines

The way of spreading cards on the blackjack table is different in each country. For this purpose most of casinos have such devises as two hand-held desks, dealer's shoe and a shuffling machine. If the first one is easy to understand and imagine, it is harder to do so with the other two. Let's sort the things out!
Dealer's shoe, or dealing shoe - is a special box, which holds more than one card deck, and allows playing several games without shuffling.
Shuffling machine - is a machine that shuffles cardsbefore each dealing. It gives fewer chances for dealer and players to cheat and play against the house (casino).
