| Hit,
Stand, Double, And Split |

dealer hands aren't naturals, so players have an
opportunity to either request additional cards or
refuse them. The dealer works from her left to her
right. Tapping or scratching the table with your
index finger indicates your desire for an additional
card. A small wave with one hand as if to say "stop"
or "go away" indicates that you are standing.
In casino blackjack games where the cards are played
face down there is yet another way to indicate a
stand. You simply push the edge of your cards a
bit under the wager and move your hands away.
One variation of a hit is called a double down or
double. It requires an additional bet, usually an
amount equal to your original wager. You put the
extra chips next to your original chips. The dealer
gives you exactly one more card and that is your
hand. No additional cards may be dealt. Most casinos
restrict doubling to hands with two cards.
If your original hand has cards with an equal point
value (two eights, two aces, two nines) you can
split them for an additional wager equal to the
first wager. You now have two hands. Each hand is
played separately. You can hit or stand as necessary.
Some casinos restrict doubling on splits. Most require
that you take only one card on split aces.
