"Hi! My name is Carlos Ramos Jr. and I'm coming to you on behalf of Expert Village and today we're talking about the game of blackjack. Now we've gone over a few things now, we've gone over the object of the game, what's needed to get the game started, what the cards are worth and we've gone ahead and dealt the cards. Now as this game progresses forward, what do you do? You got your hand here, you can either hit or you can stand. A hit means you want to gamble a little bit, you want to take another card of the top of this deck and see if you can get it closer to 21, you're feeling a little risky or maybe you just got a little hand. To stand, you might say okay I don't want any more cards, I don't want to take any more risk, I'm satisfied with this hand, it's close enough I'll take my chances. So most casinos that I've encountered when you want hit, you tap the table like so, indicating that you want a hit, okay, don't touch the cards usually they don't want you touching the cards, you go for a hit. The dealer will take a card of the top of the deck and give you another card. Now if you want to stand, you wave it off like this, that means you don't want anymore cards. So to hit, that's your signal, to stand, you wave it off, that means you're done. "
