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.
How to Act at Table Games
The most important rule is to never hand your cash directly to the dealer; place it flat on the table.
Touching your wager after the betting window has closed is strictly forbidden and looks highly suspicious.
- Wait for a hand to finish before sitting down
- Never give unsolicited advice to other players
- Keep your drinks off the playing felt
The Etiquette of Tipping Dealers
Gratuities are expected in places like Las Vegas, rewarding the dealer for good service and a fun atmosphere.
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 |
Respecting the staff and your fellow gamblers is the key to a truly enjoyable casino experience.
