In the context of casino gambling, particularly in card games like blackjack, the term "natural" refers to a hand that consists of an ace and a ten-value card (10, Jack, Queen, or King) as the initial two cards dealt to a player. This combination totals 21 points and is considered the best possible hand in blackjack. A natural blackjack typically pays out at higher odds than other winning hands, often 3:2, making it a highly sought-after outcome in the game.
