How does a player indicate their decisions in blackjack, such as hitting, standing, or doubling down?

In blackjack, players communicate their decisions through a combination of hand signals and verbal cues. These signals are a crucial part of the game, ensuring that player intentions are clear and transparent.

To "hit," which means requesting an additional card to improve your hand, players often use a simple, universally recognized hand gesture by tapping the table or waving their hand towards themselves. This clear sign lets the dealer know that you desire another card.

Conversely, when you wish to "stand," indicating that you are satisfied with your current hand and don't want any more cards, a horizontal wave over your cards or a clear statement like "I'll stand" will suffice.

"Doubling down" is a strategic move in blackjack that involves doubling your initial bet in exchange for precisely one more card. To express this choice, place an additional bet next to your original wager, signaling your intent to the dealer. You'll then receive that one extra card, and your turn is over.
