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

For security reasons, dealers cannot take money from your hand; you must lay it on the felt.

Never alter, add, or remove chips from the betting circle once the round has officially commenced.

• 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.

You can tip by handing them a chip directly, or by placing a bet for them alongside your own.

Respecting the staff and your fellow gamblers is the key to a truly enjoyable casino experience.
