When playing blackjack, players are dealt cards face down and must place a bet before looking at their hand. The dealer then reveals all of the player’s cards and must make a decision, based on the number and type of cards that are shown, as to whether to hit or stand.
In order for the dealer to make a profit, they must either win or draw more cards than the player.
According to recent studies, blackjack dealers typically earn an average of $2.64 per hour.
This figure is based on data from the National Council on Problem Gambling, which sampled over 2,000 blackjack dealers in Nevada casinos between 2009 and 2011.
