Hands out cards
Deals covers agreements, transactions, and the act of distributing.
A deal is an arrangement between parties: We made a deal.
In commerce, a deal is a bargain or special offer: I got a great deal on flights.
To deal cards is to distribute them to players.
To deal with something is to handle or address it: I'll deal with this later.
A dealer sells goods, often with connotations of illicit trade: drug dealer, arms dealer.
What's the deal? asks what's happening or what the situation is.
Big deal dismisses something as unimportant.
