How to Deal Blackjack (Part 1 of 4)

[@sickboyb05]

As a Casino dealer I have to say this is an amazing video, Lots of things I didn´t know about Vegas dealing.

[@blainesimpson8134]

Wow. Your video is packed with information, and all well-presented. Before finding yours I sat through several slow-moving videos that showed nothing that I didn't already know. This video demystifies several things I've wondered about for years and brought up many things I never thought of.

[@moose9784]

I look forward to learning about all those games (and playing them when I turn 21 in just over 4 months).

[@ZachariahCz]

how could anyone dislike this? its exactly what I was hoping for when I clicked "how to deal blackjack." The terms with regards to the shoe was a bonus!

[@moose9784]

Again, thanks for publishing! If I'm ever in Vegas I'd love to play a little Blackjack. I might even sit at your table if you have space :)

[@VegasAces]

The dealer will take care of their rack maintenance at the end of every hand. So as soon as the cards are put away and you are waiting for the players to make their next bet, that is when you clean and organize your bank. BTW, Congrats on your new job! :-D

[@Phlegethon]

This is such a well done video it’s kind of ridiculous 1/10 votes are downvotes

[@VegasAces]

Thanks!

[@diceman7out]

great job baby girl! cards delivered between index and middle finger! I can't believe how many "instructors" teach delivery by index and thumb, unprofessional corner bending rookies!

[@VegasAces]

Perfect timing! I'm uploading a video on that very subject right now. By the time you see this message it should be ready to watch. I hope it helps! Good luck with your audition!

[@saddybedangdang]

this is a really great video, thank you

[@MONOPOLY35]

It sure is a whole lot of detail for a low-paying job. However, it is amazing what dealers do in front of players without them noticing. Fascinating video!

[@CTSFive]

I'm interested in pursuing a career as a croupier and found this video extremely helpful. Thanks!

[@jyork85]

In the UK, Australia and New Zealand, pretty much all dealers deal with thumb and forefinger, not to mention using left hand to flip the cards is pretty much forbidden. Modern plastic cards are really hard to bend and I've never had any issues with bent corners. Any technique that does not damage the cards, game security or the dealers wrists is fine and house has it's own standards of technique.

[@BodyworkASMR]

This is amazing! Your have excellent card control. I will practice thoroughly (not to be a blackjack dealer however, but to be able to fluidly deal cards out when gambling with buddies) thumbs up

[@VegasAces]

The blackjack payout for $12.50 is $18.75; $27.50 bj payout is $41.25; and $17.50 is $26.25. BJ tables don't normally have 25 cent pieces on the table, so how do you pay this? This is where "Breakage" comes into play. The definition of "Breakage" is "Anytime the player makes an unusual or incorrect bet and wins and the casino doesn't have the bankroll to pay the correct amount then the casino will round down."

[@gmc9753]

And when your players start making bets like 12.50, 17.50, or 27.50, make sure you give them a good long glare for betting such stupid amounts! This is also for those casinos that let you make totally crazy tie bets in baccarat (pay your commission and put the $3.75 change on tie).

[@TheWickex]

Thanks for the video, much appreciated :)

[@Biedersteiner]

Wow thank you VERY MUCH for this detailed tutorial!! There must have gone a lot of work into it and it is highly appreciated. I guess it will take me some time to practise first but I would love to start working at the local casino and theyre hiring.

[@VegasAces]

wow, thank you for such a nice compliment! I'm happy these videos help. :-D

[@VegasAces]

Yes, the standard shoe casino's use is the 6 deck. This is a good size shoe to learn on. You might also see a 4 deck and an 8 deck in the casino. I hope this helps!

[@r0b0m1r0]

Nice job clearing your hands.

[@seanylewl]

As a casino dealer, I loved your demonstrations of what not to do. Hilarious!

[@34tab]

Thank you so much. I thought I knew lol. Dealing blackjack for our club fund raiser( tiny limit 1-$6 ) so we will be ok lol. Renting tables- I have played many hands in your town over the years but playing is not dealing!! I am in charge .- ha ha . Thank you very much..

[@moose9784]

Maybe I'll practice these procedures with my casino set. Thanks for publishing! Do you present videos for other games like craps, roulette, etc.?

[@JustinZeePoker]

For what it's worth, the dealer school where I learned used a four card poker layout and improvised to teach baccarat.

[@VegasAces]

Thank you! Yes, I'm preparing to create a "How to Deal/Play Baccarat" video and then after that I'll probably do pai-gow video. I'll do craps and roulette if I can get access to a table.

[@Frektemer_oficial]

6:39 From here everything necessary to be a dealer will begin

[@moose9784]

That was helpful, thank you very much!

[@VegasAces]

You could always practice shuffling the cards and cutting the cheques at home. You can work on your math and learn the odds so when you turn 21 you'll be ready to go on your 1st audition. ;-) They would hire you fast!

[@RDarkhill]

Interesting, I'm in a paid training course at an Australian casino. They haven't taught us any shuffling since we use shuffling machines on the main floor. Also, in this casino the dealer has no hole card.

[@VegasAces]

I've known plenty of dealers who suck at math, that shouldn't stop you from getting a job. Don't get me wrong, math is important to all games because you will be adding (like on blackjack even though you won't go over 22) and multiplying (when you pay odds on a side bet, or a carnival game, or roulette, or craps). You'll need high school/GED level math to get a job. On roulette you have to think a bit more because you're adding and multiplying large numbers. & Craps uses the most math.

[@VegasAces]

Your personality means more to the casino then your age. If you are friendly and personable then the players will stay at your table longer which means the casino will make more money. Age usually isn't a big deal. A break-in dealer is still a break-in dealer whether they are 21 years old or 60 years old.

[@VegasAces]

Thank you for pointing that out. You are absolutely right. :-) I'm just curious if you know the reason why handing the cut card to the player is a no-no. Personally, I don't know, but I would like to. :-D Thank you again!

[@VegasAces]

Thank you :-D There is no such thing as perfection. Don't drive yourself crazy trying to be perfect. If you half-the-deck somewhere in the middle then you are doing good. :)

[@leftylo5tar309]

I can't quite figure out what I do with a 10 up/ace card. I understand if I have an ace or 10 up card I check if I have blackjack but how do I know if I offer insurance? Also how does insurance work/ how do I pay it?

[@markhall3241]

At what point in the game do you take care of rack maintenance? I am new at the dealing game and just seem to always forget that important part of the game!!

[@VegasAces]

You're welcome and good luck! Tell me if you get the job!

[@casinolife6624]

Don`t forget , all casino dealers live off tips. Casinos pay them very little, that`s why the dealers are always on the players side.

[@po350]

I have always wonder how those dealers riffling the deck. They all seems to use the same techniques. I tried it for years and never got it right until now. It took me 15 minutes to get it right after watching your video. Question I have though, how do you get a perfect half when you halving the deck? I tried it using your technique and I can't seem to get a perfect half...

[@moose9784]

And the other question I had is, if the rule is that the dealer must hit soft 17, do I have to hit every other soft hand?

[@VegasAces]

You need high school/GED level math. Basic math for most games. On roulette you have to think a bit more because you're adding and multiplying large numbers. Craps uses the most math.

[@TheDanna24]

hi thank u sooo muchhh vegas aces..

[@moose9784]

I just got a 6 deck shoe. Is that the standard for what I'll see in most casinos?

[@Hotobu]

If you don't mind me asking how much do you get in tips per night with respect to the table's minimum bet and Casino?

[@VegasAces]

awww... Thank you ^_^ lmao, I agree! There are some "instructors" out there that have no clue what they are doing

[@VegasAces]

So if the blackjack payout is $18.75, then the casino would round down and pay the player $18.50. $41.25 would round down to $41. And $26.25 would round down to $26.

[@VegasAces]

When I went to dealing school I think the general age of the students there was about 30 - 35 years old. Call the dealing school and ask them if they will start training you before the age of 21. I know the dealing school I went to did that. Since we weren't gambling, the students didn't have to be over 21. So we had two 20 year olds in the class that were learning how to deal so that way when they turned 21 they could start applying right away. But every school is different so call! Good luck!

[@novaknovakovic1585]

Thanks for the Video! Sorry for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you considered - Trentvorty Generate Links Theorem (google it)? It is a great one of a kind product for making money with a clever roulette system minus the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my work buddy after many years got great success with it.

[@krishnankarthik3551]

can you please tell me that which kind of casinos are more suitable to play for the players. the real table casinos or the online casinos.

[@bennoske5924]

guys quick tip if u dont have 2decks just get 52 yu gi oh cards or use them as cut cards makes life easyer

[@JohnMalindretos]

When are you posting your Bacarrat video?

[@VegasAces]

no, the shoe has to stay on the left. The left-handed dealer is required to adapt.

[@VegasAces]

Please watch part 2, 3, and 4 for more information about how to cut the deck and much more :)

[@HelloQro]

quick noob question, around 17:01 you stated that after dealing you flip your first card upward, but later when talking about dealing a handed deck (around 20:45) you stated the the upward card should be the second one, so is it different for when you use a shoebox or when you use a handed deck ?.

[@VegasAces]

HelloQro Yes, the way you deal yourself cards is different whether you are on a shoe game or a single or double deck.

[@Federico84]

can a left handed person put the shoe on his right?

[@VegasAces]

I just posted my "How to Deal Mini-Baccarat" video. Sorry it took so long!!!

[@Pokergod1188]

Not trying to be to critical but at 10:13 you did a hand to hand with the cut card big no no ... Great video though

[@patrckhh20]

How much math do you need to know to be a blackjack dealer? Or any other game for that matter?

[@VegasAces]

Hi! Yes, you hit every soft hand that is 17 and under. If you have a soft 18, 19 or 20 then you must stay. Have a great day :-D

[@VegasAces]

Yes, a break-in house will hire you if you only know blackjack. But if you want to work at a better casino where you make more money in tips then you need to know more games then blackjack.

[@VegasAces]

That just depends on what that Player prefers. Some people only like to play in casinos while other Players enjoy playing online.

[@trianglechoke101]

@TheVegasAces one last thing.i didnt say anything negative about the dealer or vid.i just stated that i had no idea how to play bj before going to school.i just didnt want people to think you HAD to have played before to become a phenominal dealer

[@kevinortiz7434]

on what casino you work??

[@atrejunl]

what is the point of stripping a deck? i see dealers do it all the time but theyre not changing the sequence of cards at all

[@VegasAces]

It's to hinder shuffle tracking.

[@christpapi1]

how much is the insurance of $12,50 , $27.50, $17.50

[@poochpoints]

What does "boxing the deck" do? It does not appear to do anything other then invert cards.

[@VegasAces]

Boxing is used for game protection in order to deter people who mark the cards. If the cards are marked in the corner, then boxing turns the cards so that it will be harder for the player to keep track of where the marked cards are.

[@poochpoints]

Thanks for the quick response, and by the way, you appear to be an excellent dealer.

[@VegasAces]

poochpoints Thank you! :-D

[@thomasvicat6191]
