Casino Etiquette: Dos and Don’ts

Walking onto a busy casino floor for the first time can be an overwhelming sensory experience.

Understanding basic casino etiquette prevents embarrassing situations and keeps the game flowing perfectly.

How to Bet Properly at the Table

You must lay your cash flat on the table layout so the cameras can clearly see the transaction.

Once you have placed your bet and the dealer announces “no more bets,” absolutely do not touch your chips.

• Ask the dealer for help if you are confused
• Do not reach over other players to place a bet
• Only use one hand when handling cards in blackjack

How to Treat Casino Staff

Never blame the croupier for a losing streak; they have absolutely no control over the cards or the wheel.

Even if someone makes a terrible mathematical decision in blackjack, keep your opinions to yourself.
