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.
Crucial Rules at the Tables
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.
- Do not interrupt an ongoing game to buy chips
- Avoid criticizing how someone else plays their hand
- Use the designated cup holders to prevent spills
How and When to Tip Casino Staff
It is customary in many regions to tip the staff, as it makes up a large portion of their income.
Players often tip when leaving a table, or they place a special wager on behalf of the croupier.
| 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.
