BURNING A CARD

In the game of Blackjack, the term "burning a card" means to remove one or several cards from a new deck right after the dealer shuffles.  This helps to prevent usage of the top cards in the event that any of the players had seen that card during shuffling.  Casinos also believe that this method can at least help reduce cheating or card counting by the players.  Since one or more cards are "burned" - then the players have no knowledge of which cards those were and they cannot be counted.
