I stop and say "why would i stay on a 12 against a 9? and the dealer at this point is saying that since i used my left hand to signal that she thought I was pointing at my other 8. Regardless, the pit boss got involved and let that first 7 go to the 12 and let me play the next 8. Then the next night at around 3:30 am I was playing with my dad and a few other people (we'd been playing since the dealer started at 10pm). Some kid sits down and buys in for $60 (it was a $15 table) and ends up getting some hand that basically required him to split and double twice to get a 15 and a 16 total. The dealer is showing a 9 at this point. So my dad coincidentally has a 12 and motions to hit, the dealer then proceeded to turn up her face-down card because she thought he was motioning to stand and we basically ended up having to stop play while the pit boss came over and called another 2 pit bosses over while they decided what to do. they finally let my dad play his hand while looking at both of the dealers cards, turned out the dealer had a 19 (surprise!!) anyway and my dad hit and got a K but it was still weird that they let him play seeing the dealers face down card. So this guy that lost on both doubles (and all of his money) looks at my dad and say "way to f*** up the cards you dou*he". What a jerk...

If the floor or surveilance catches the mistake of you getting paid out they can ask for the money back. If it's only $10 I doubt they would though. I've seen a dealer make a $2000 mistake and the player didn't wanna give the money back. Casino Manager got involved with that one...player changed his mind when they took him upstairs.
