Walking onto a busy casino floor for the first time can be an intimidating and confusing experience.
Understanding the unwritten rules will ensure you don’t anger the dealers or the other players.
Essential Table Game Manners
The most important rule is to never hand your cash directly to the dealer; place it flat on the table.
Once the dealer announces that no more bets are accepted, absolutely do not touch your chips.
- Wait for a hand to finish before sitting down
- Never give unsolicited advice to other players
- Keep your drinks off the playing felt
Tipping the Dealer (Tokes)
It is customary in many regions to tip the staff, as it makes up a large portion of their income.
Tossing a chip to the dealer after a big win is considered excellent form and highly appreciated.
| Event | What to Do | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Placing a dealer bet | Put a chip on the line and say ‘for the boys’ | Includes the dealer in the excitement |
| Cashout at cage | No tip necessary | Cashiers generally do not expect tips |
Adhering to these basic manners makes you a welcome guest at any table across the globe.
