The shoe will be placed in front of the croupier (the virtual dealer). The Croupier offers the shoe to you and as the player you maybe offered a pop-up box stating, "You have been offered to cut the deck. By cutting the deck you accept to be the dealer for this hand. Your options are Buttons: Yes, I want to cut the shoe OR No, I do not want to cut the shoe" Then you have to decide whether or not to be the dealer. If you decline to cut the shoe, the shoe moves to the next player. If you accept to cut the shoe an animation appears with a yellow card and a deck and then you will place the yellow card where you would like to cut. If you or and other player does not accept to cut the cards, the croupier will cut the cards randomly. Once the cards are cut the dealer is to draw the first card from the shoe. The dealer reveals that card and burns (not show on table) that many cards. Aces are 1 and, Face Cards are 10. The shoe moves to the player who accepted the cards to cut or the croupier remains with the shoe and the first hand is dealt.
