Burn Card

The first card of a new deck after the shuffle and cut. The dealer usually puts this face down in the discard tray. Often times a card is burned when a new dealer comes in.


After cutting the deck and prior to dealing, the first card or few cards are not dealt, but moved directly to the discard tray, face down or sometimes merely placed under the deck face up. Prevents counters from seeing burn card.
