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

Understanding the unwritten rules will ensure you don't anger the dealers or the other players.

Essential Table Game Manners

For security reasons, dealers cannot take money from your hand; you must lay it on the felt.

Touching your wager after the betting window has closed is strictly forbidden and looks highly suspicious.

• Wait for a hand to finish before sitting down
• Never give unsolicited advice to other players
• Keep your drinks off the playing felt

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.
