Blackjack Dealer Hole Card Switch: Casino Cheating Move

This is a demo of a hole card switch in single deck casino blackjack, as would be done by a crooked casino dealer. Although single deck games are no longer common, nowadays, this is actually the oldest blackjack variation. Multiple-deck shoe games were only introduced later, partly to combat card counters. One may still find single-deck blackjack games in some casinos in Las Vegas, and even in some other parts of the world. Some Atlantic City casinos have also introduced single-deck blackjack games, however, those have different rules than the original single-deck games.

The hole card switch that you see here is a cheating move that was very common in the old days, in the so-called bustout joints. Those were crooked casinos that would actually employ bustout dealers to cheat the players. However, in the early years of Las Vegas gambling, casinos were reputed to have at least one bustout dealer on call, just to make sure some players didn't get too lucky.

Turning up the hole card with the deck hand is actually a violation of casino procedures. This is why this was a move that was most likely used only in underground joints.
