Walking onto a busy casino floor for the first time can be an intimidating and confusing experience.

Learning basic etiquette is essential for blending in and enjoying a stress-free gaming session.

Essential Table Game Manners

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.

• Ask if the seat is taken before sitting
• Mind your own business and focus on your cards
• Never use your phone while seated at a live game

Tipping the Dealer (Tokes)

In most countries, dealers rely heavily on tips (often called tokes) to make a living wage.

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.
