How many decks of cards are used for blackjack in casinos?
It depends on the blackjack variation that you are playing -- it can be played with as few as 1 deck and as many as 8 decks. Since- and double-deck games are dealt by hand, while games with 4, 6, and 8 decks are dealt from a shoe. In general, the higher the number of decks that are used corresponds to more liberal betting options available to a player. For example, in a single-deck game, players can double on 9, 10, or 11 only, while in an 8 deck game, the player can double on any two cards. Also, many casinos have moved to paying 6-5 for a single-deck blackjack, while continuing to pay 3-2 for a blackjack from a 4, 6, or 8 deck game.

Why are some face cards one eyed or two eyed?
In a standard deck of playing cards, face cards (kings, queens, and jacks) are designed as one-eyed or two-eyed based on their visual representations. One-eyed cards, like the king of spades and the jack of hearts, show only one eye in profile, while two-eyed cards, like the king of hearts and the queen of diamonds, face forward and display both eyes. This design choice adds variety to the artwork and helps distinguish between different cards during gameplay. Additionally, the one-eyed and two-eyed classification can be used in certain games as a strategic element.
