Deal
To give out the cards during a card game.
In the context of casino gambling, the term "deal" can refer to a couple of different concepts:
Card Dealing: It is the process of distributing cards to players in card games such as poker, blackjack, or baccarat. The dealer (a casino employee or a player in some games) distributes the cards according to the rules of the game, determining each player's hand.
Game Round: A "deal" can also refer to a single round of play in games like poker. For example, in Texas Hold'em, a deal includes the initial distribution of hole cards, the subsequent community cards revealed, and the betting rounds that occur until the showdown.
In both contexts, the "deal" is a crucial part of the game, as it sets the stage for the actions and outcomes that follow.
