Open

1 min read

In poker, the player who bets first. 

In the context of casino gambling, the term "open" can refer to a few different concepts depending on the specific game being played:

  1. Open Table: In games like blackjack or poker, an "open" table refers to a table that is available for players to join. It means there are seats available for new players to sit down and participate in the game.

  2. Open Bet: In sports betting, an "open" bet may refer to a wager that has not yet been settled, meaning the outcome is still pending.

  3. Open Hand: In poker, an "open" hand can refer to a situation where a player has not yet folded and is still actively participating in the hand.

  4. Open Card: In games like Texas Hold'em, an "open" card refers to a community card that is face up and available for all players to use.

If you have a specific context in mind, please let me know, and I can provide a more tailored definition!
