In blackjack, the dealer’s card that’s dealt face down.
In casino gambling, particularly in card games like poker and blackjack, a "hole card" refers to a card that is dealt face down and is not visible to the other players. In poker, for example, each player receives hole cards that they keep secret from their opponents, which they can use in combination with community cards to make their best hand. In blackjack, the dealer has one hole card that is dealt face down, which is revealed later in the game. The concept of hole cards is crucial as it adds an element of strategy and deception to the game.
