junioCasino Etiquette: Dos and Don'ts for Beginners
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
The most important rule is to never hand your cash directly to the dealer; place it flat on the table.
Once the dealer announces that no more bets are accepted, absolutely do not touch your chips.
- Ask if the seat is taken before sitting
- Mind your own business and focus on your cards
- Never use your phone while seated at a live game
Tipping the Dealer (Tokes)
In most countries, dealers rely heavily on tips (often called tokes) to make a living wage.
Tossing a chip to the dealer after a big win is considered excellent form and highly appreciated.
| Event | What to Do | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Placing a dealer bet | Put a chip on the line and say 'for the boys' | Includes the dealer in the excitement |
| Cashout at cage | No tip necessary | Cashiers generally do not expect tips |
Respecting the staff and your fellow gamblers is the key to a truly enjoyable casino experience.
