General Casino TerminologyREPORTED

A form of cheating where a blackjack player sees the dealer's hole card from their position at the table.

Cheating/collusion terminology. Unlike spooking it needs no confederate, which is why it survives a lone-player review and shows up instead in dealer-technique audits.
