Flashed Card

A flashed card is a card that is partially exposed.

The simple explanation

A flashed card is a card that has been shown for a moment, for example by a dealer's mistake. It is partly or briefly exposed. The floor decides what to do with it.

A closer look

The handling depends on the game and room. In many rooms a flashed card must be shown to everyone and then is taken out of play. Some rules treat a card exposed by the dealer differently from one exposed by a player.

A practical example

A dealer's thumb moves and a player sees the corner of a card. It is a flashed card.
