Yes, going to the casino is great! In most of these establishments the small timer is treated as well by the staff as the high rollers. Unlike the rest of your life, here everyone wishes you good luck and seems to genuinely mean it! Yes, this is a much friendlier environment than your mother in law\’s house. But there are some things you should know to keep you looking as cool as you feel.
Casino etiquette is a little more than wearing a shirt and shoes; to be polite and know the rules will take you pretty far. Usually though, wearing a shirt and shoes is the first set of rules you will be asked to follow. Besides, honestly dude, no one wants to see that.
Gaming tables are the first things you need to consider. You can stand behind someone who doesn\’t mind and watch the game as it unfolds, but usually the dealer will not answer many questions until you sit down to play. Sometimes if you build a quiet repartee with one of the players, they might even show you their cards and this is a big help as well. Do not sit down at the table with the intension of just watching. This will elicit a \”well?\” look by the dealer. If you\’re sitting you are expected to play.
The dealer can be your biggest friend in a way. Often once you establish yourself as a polite player and ask for a tip or two, the deal will give you a few pointers. Listen to them, but don\’t hold them accountable if you lose. Dealers make the same amount if you win or lose, they have to, and it\’s the law. However, you can tip you dealer if their suggestions help you to win big.
Remember though, you are not playing the deal, you are playing the house. The dealer does not get to choose much about what they do, in fact they don\’t get to pick anything at all. They are held to a strict set of rules and breaking them will result in termination and a revocation of their license. So if you are consistently loosing you might want to realize two things: it\’s not the dealer\’s fault and the one person playing every single hand has been you.
Free drinks means free drinks. As long as you are gambling, someone is going to be coming by and asking you if you would like something to drink. Absolutely! In some cases this might be the only thing you get out of the deal. Just remember to tip the server. In some cases that\’s a majority of the money they make.
Touching the dealer in any way shape or form is not a good thing. This is partially so that there is no appearance of impropriety, but also as a measure to prevent cheating. If you need change, or to buy some more chips, simply put your money down on the table and ask. Attempting to hand money or chips to a dealer will leave you feeling like you have kooties.
Following these simple steps will help you enjoy your casino experience. Being the nice person who plays a game as a game and has a good time is just part of it. You definitely want to make the right impressions with the staff. Usually it is very much appreciated.
