The blackjack table, like the other casino game tables, has its own rules of protocol.  These are rules that are written by the floor manager and are the rules that must be followed by anyone who wants to play at the blackjack table. The dealer and the player do not rely on verbal communications. They use a series of signals that are clear and are picked-up by the bingo and casino security cameras. For example, the player who wants to buy chips, doesn’t verbally tell the dealer and hand him some bills. The protocol is for the player to lay his money on the table and wait for the dealer.

The dealer cannot make change so will give the UK bingo player whatever the amount is in chips and drop the bills down the slot. The dealer is not allowed to take money from the hands of the player. The player who wants a hit signals so by tapping the table in front of him.  The player who wants to stands signals his desire by moving his hand, face down, back and forth in front of his position. The player who wants to split indicates this fact by separating the paired cards and placing a bet by the right hand card, which must be equal to his original bet. A player who wants to Double Down indicates the fact by placing a second bet equal in size to his original wager in a stack next to the original wager. There is no question of who said what. All of the signals and actions are on the tapes of the security cameras.
