How to write a function using pointers?

So I have a poker type program where it should shuffle and deal a deck of cards using arrays of pointers. I have to write a function that uses a pointer(s) to determine if the hand contains an Ace. If I can understand this one, I'd be able to do the rest with no problems. I was told to do what I did with int decks, int dealt, int the_hand, but I keep getting errors. I've been trying everything I could think of, but no luck. Am I even in the right direction?

Also, I read the book, reviewed my teachers notes, and even tried Googling this, but none of them helped. My teacher gave me a hint, but won't say anything else " Use the same parameter list as the deal function".

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#define SUITS 4
#define FACES 6
#define CARDS 24
#define THE_HAND 5

// prototypes
void shuffle(unsigned int wDeck[][FACES]); // prototype to shuffle deck
void deal(unsigned int wDeck[][FACES], const char *wFace[],
        const char *wSuit[]); // dealing doesn't modify the arrays
int has_ace(int *the_hand);
int main(void) {
    // initialize deck array
    unsigned int deck[SUITS][FACES] = {0};
    int *decks = malloc(CARDS * sizeof(int));
    int dealt = 0; //number of cards taken from deck
    int *the_hand = NULL; //current hand
    srand(time(NULL)); // seed the RNG
    shuffle(deck); // shuffle the deck
        if (has_ace(the_hand)){
        printf("The hand has Jack\n");
    }
    else{
        printf("The hand has no Jack\n");
    }
    // initialize suit array
    const char *suit[SUITS] = {"Hearts", "Diamonds", "Clubs", "Spades"};

    // initialize face array
    const char *face[FACES] = {"Ace", "Nine", "Ten","Jack", "Queen", "King"};

    deal(deck, face, suit); // deal the deck
};

int has_ace(int *the_hand){
    for (int i = 0; i < THE_HAND; i++){
        if (the_hand[i] == "ACE"){
            return 1; //true
        }
    }
    return 0; //false
}
// shuffle cards in deck
void shuffle(unsigned int wDeck[][FACES]) {
    // for each of the cards, choose slot of deck randomly
    for (size_t card = 20; card <= CARDS; card++) {
        size_t row;
        size_t column;

        // choose new random location until unoccupied slot found
        do {
            row = rand() % SUITS;
            column = rand() % FACES;
        } while (wDeck[row][column] != 0);

        // place card number in chosen slot of deck
    wDeck[row][column] = card;
    }
}

// deal cards in deck
void deal(unsigned int wDeck[][FACES], const char *wFace[], const char *wSuit[]) {
    // deal each of the cards
for (size_t card = 20; card <= CARDS; card++) {
    // loop through rows of wDeck
    for (size_t row = 0; row < SUITS; row++) {
        // loop through columns of wDeck for current row
        for (size_t column = 0; column < FACES; column++) {
            // if slot contains current card, display card
            if (wDeck[row][column] == card) {
                printf("%5s of %-8s%c", 
                        wFace[column], wSuit[row],
                        card % 2 == 0 ? '\n' : '\t');
                } // end if
            } // end column for loop
        } // end row for lop
    } // end card for loop
} // end deal function

Things I've tried:

int has_ace(int *the_hand){
for (int i = 0; i < THE_HAND; i++){
    if (the_hand[i] == "Ace"){
        return 1; //true
        }
    }
    return 0; //false
}

   int has_ace(int *the_hand){
    for (int i = 0; i < THE_HAND; i++){
    if (the_hand[i] == wDeck[Ace][FACES]){
        return 1; //true
            }
        }
        return 0; //false
}

    int has_ace(int *the_hand){
    for (int i = 0; i < THE_HAND; i++){
    if (the_hand[i] == wFace[Ace]){
        return 1; //true
            }
        }
        return 0; //false
}

Errors I get:
