Discards

1 min read

All of the burned cards removed from play.

In the context of casino gambling, "discards" typically refer to the cards that have been played and are no longer in the current game. These cards are usually placed in a discard pile and are not available for the players to use in subsequent rounds. The term is most commonly associated with card games, such as poker or blackjack, where players may discard certain cards to improve their hands or where the dealer discards cards after a round. Discarding is an essential part of many card games, as it helps manage the flow of play and can influence strategy.
