Hit
1 min read
In blackjack, to take another card.
In the context of casino gambling, particularly in card games like blackjack, the term "hit" refers to the action of requesting an additional card from the dealer. Players typically "hit" when they believe that their current hand total is not high enough to win against the dealer's hand. The objective is to improve their hand without exceeding a total of 21, which would result in a bust and an automatic loss. Players can continue to hit as many times as they wish, as long as they do not exceed the maximum total of 21.
