Walking onto a busy casino floor for the first time can be an overwhelming sensory experience.
Proper behavior at the tables is expected by the staff and heavily enforced by veteran gamblers.
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.
Wait patiently for the dealer to pay out winnings before you collect your chips from the felt.
- Wait for the hand to finish before joining a table
- Do not bend or mark the playing cards
- Keep your drinks off the actual gaming felt
Social Etiquette at the Casino
Abusive language or aggressive behavior toward staff will result in immediate ejection by security.
Everyone has the right to play their own money however they see fit without facing criticism.
Understanding Casino Tipping Culture
Tipping the dealer, also known as "toking," is standard etiquette when you are having a winning session.
It is also customary to tip the cocktail waitresses who bring you complimentary beverages.
| Staff Member | Standard Tip | When to Tip |
|---|
| Dealer | $1-$5 per winning streak | Leaving table / Winning |
| Waitress | $1 per drink | Upon delivery |
Good etiquette makes the entire gambling experience vastly more enjoyable for absolutely everyone involved.
