From "Bank" to "Burning Card"

After A comes B. Whether you’re already an experienced player or just taking your first steps into the Casino world, terms like Burning Card, House Edge, or Blind are ones you should definitely know. So sit back and find out what these terms are all about!

Bank

Whether in blackjack or roulette – the bank, often represented by the dealer or croupier, is the one that sets the rules and ensures a safe, transparent and smooth gaming experience. It takes the bets, pays out the winnings and guarantees fair and exciting play.

Blind

The term blind comes from poker and refers to compulsory bets that must be made by the two players to the left of the dealer. There is the small blind (half bet) and the big blind (full bet). These blinds ensure that there is always something in the pot – and that the game doesn’t just consist of waiting around.

Box

The box is your personal playing area at the table. This is where you place your bets and receive your cards – especially important in blackjack. In short: your own little gaming space where everything is decided!

Bonus Games

The best thing about slot machines? – Bonus games! They are triggered by certain symbols or combinations and can include free games, multipliers or other rewards. In short: more chances to win without additional bets!

Burning Card

When a card is set aside in blackjack or poker, it is called a burning card (or simply “burn card”). It may sound dramatic, but it’s really just a security measure, used to make cheating or card counting more difficult. So don’t worry – the card isn’t against you, it just wasn’t allowed to join the game.
