SHOE

BLACKJACK TERMS DICTIONARY

 

 
   

SHOE

In the game of Blackjack, the term "shoe" means a holder, often plastic, that holds large numbers of decks of cards for a blackjack game.  Shoes are necessary for games that use 6 or 8 decks of cards since a dealer can not hold that many decks in their hands.  Therefore the dealer will shuffle the decks, allow a player to cut them, burn one or more top cards and then place the remaining cards into the "shoe".  The shoe also has a convenient front portion where the dealer may draw a card out one at a time in order to deal.
