After the boxes have finished taking part in, the vendor's hand is resolved by drawing playing cards until the hand achieves a complete of 17 or higher. If the vendor has a total of 17 together with an ace valued as 11 (a "soft 17"), some video games require the vendor to stand while different games require another draw. If the vendor doesn't bust, each remaining bet wins if its hand is larger than the dealer's and loses if it is decrease. At a blackjack desk, the dealer faces 5 to nine taking half in positions from behind a semicircular table. Between one and eight normal 52-card decks are shuffled together.
