Peeking
In hole games, if the dealers up-card
is a 10, Jack, King Queen or Ace most casinos allow
the dealer to “peek”. This means the dealer
may carefully check his hole card without any of the
players seeing.
If the hole card is a Blackjack then
the dealer’s hand is unbeatable and any further
play becomes pointless.
In such a case the dealer is required
to immediately expose this winning hand and take the
losing bets from the table in a counterclockwise direction.
In a game with two or more decks there
is always the chance occurrence of a player also having
a Blackjack. The hand then becomes a draw (a push) and
the player neither wins nor loses the hand.
