Card Down ( blackjack)

An announcement to the floor person that a card has gone off the table.
A dealer never reaches down to pick up a card, as that would expose their tray to stealing.



Card Down ( poker )

The situation in which a card has been dealt off the table or otherwise dropped to the floor,
and a floor person must be called to pick up the card, because, in many casinos and card rooms,
the house dealer is not permitted to retrieve the card, nor is a player. If a card falls on the floor, the dealer
may announce, "Card down," and a floor person comes over to pick it up. Whether the card or cards that fell to
the floor are still live or dead is subject to individual card room interpretation.
