Casino ABC: Letter H
From “Hand” to “Hot Streak”
The letter “H” also has plenty in store in the Casinos A to Z. Whether you’re already starting out as a high roller or simply playing your very first hand of blackjack in a relaxed way: with this knowledge, you’ll definitely have the right touch on your next visit to our MERKUR Casinos .
Hand
In Poker , a hand is not the body part but your combination of cards. From the simple “pair hand” to the “royal flush” – every hand has its place in the ranking. And just like in real life, sometimes it’s not the strength of the hand but how you play it that counts.
Heads-up
“Heads-up” is a classic poker term and means that only two players remain in the game. This happens, for example, when a round has escalated to the point where all the others have folded.
That’s when it gets especially exciting: in heads-up play, it’s not just the cards that count, but above all tactics, an understanding of people, and a good poker face. Here, psychology and strategy come together in the tightest of spaces.
Hit
In Blackjack , “hit” means asking the dealer for an additional card. It may sound simple, but it carries a lot of strategy: stop too early and you might miss an opportunity; ask for too many cards and you quickly exceed 21 and are out. This balance is exactly what makes the game so exciting.
