Everything you need is printed on the placard or happening in front of you.

1Does blackjack pay 3:2 or 6:5?

It's on the placard. The print gets smaller when the answer is 6:5.

2Does the dealer hit or stand on soft 17?

Printed on the felt itself, right where the cards land.

3Can you double after splitting?

Placard again. If nothing says otherwise, ask the dealer — they'll tell you.

4How are the cards dealt?

The shuffling machine is the box that never stops eating cards.

Hand-dealt — how many decks?

Why it matters

A 6:5 table pays you less for the best hand in the game.

Same dealer, same cards, same green felt — it just quietly moves the house edge from around half a percent to roughly two percent. Four times the bleed, and the only clue is a line of small print on the placard you walked past.

So where should you play instead?
