Poker table double-up at Crown

Casino to double number of poker tables in secret deal approved by gambling watchdog.

HIT - To make a hand or catch a card or cards that improves one's hand. "I hit a gut-shot draw on the river."
FAMILY POT - A pot where all of the players at the table are participating, even after each has had an opportunity to act.
CUT - To break the deck into 2 stacks of at least 5 cards each. Usually performed by the player to the dealer's right to insure that the the deck is not stacked.
BURN - To discard the top card of the deck prior to dealing, usually done for every dealing round except the first. The theory being that if somehow the cards are marked (illegally) no one will know what card will next be dealt, only what card will be burned. This makes marked cards less of an advantage, hence tends to reduce cheating.
JOKER - A 53rd card in the deck, distinct from the others, used as a wild card or as a BUG.
NICKEL - Five dollars, usually represented by a red casino check.
