Multi-Deck

1 min read

A card game played with two or more decks shuffled together.

In the context of casino gambling, particularly in card games like blackjack, the term "multi-deck" refers to the use of multiple decks of cards in a single game. Instead of using a single deck of 52 cards, a multi-deck game might use two, four, six, or even eight decks shuffled together.

Multi-deck games are often employed to make card counting more challenging for players, as the larger number of cards makes it harder to keep track of which cards have been played. This is a common practice in casinos to increase the house edge and reduce the effectiveness of strategies that rely on card counting. Multi-deck games are popular in both live casino settings and online platforms.
