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

Knowing how to conduct yourself properly prevents embarrassing situations and keeps the game moving smoothly.

Essential Table Game Manners

The most important rule is to never hand your cash directly to the dealer; place it flat on the table.

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

The Etiquette of Tipping Dealers

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.

By following these simple guidelines, you will project confidence and ensure everyone has a good time.
