card dealing

Distributing the deck

Card dealing is the act of distributing cards to players in a card game, typically from a shuffled deck held face-down.

The dealer gives cards one at a time in rotation until each player has the required number.

By extension, card dealing refers to the skill or profession: She learned card dealing before working at the casino.

A dealing shoe is a device that holds multiple decks for efficient distribution.
