1 min read
The standard 52 playing cards used in most card games.
In the context of casino gambling, a "deck" refers to a set of playing cards used in various card games. A standard deck typically contains 52 cards, divided into four suits (hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades), each with 13 ranks (Ace through King).
In some games, additional cards may be included, such as jokers or wild cards, which can alter the game dynamics. The term "deck" can also refer to the physical collection of cards as they are shuffled and dealt during gameplay. In many casino games, the number of decks used can affect strategies and odds, such as in blackjack, where single-deck, double-deck, or multi-deck variations exist.
